I was surprised (although maybe I shouldn’t have been) at just how many different ways one could look at male entitlement. It was interesting from that perspective. I think it’s a book that most should read to be aware of the issues, however, as a woman reader I was sad the majority of the book.

difficult to read a book about male entitlement without feeling enraged and defeated afterwards. i loved the framework that manne explains male privilege through - she posits that sexism is the ideological branch of gender performance, while misogyny is how it is enforced, and how women are punished for not performing it well enough. some chapters felt quite wandering, particularly the one on abortion, and i would have liked her to tie this more tightly to the book's thesis statement, but on the whole this was an extremely fresh and inventive take on masculinity. i especially appreciated the last chapter on how manne plans on raising her daughter - how we treat our children is a question that only becomes more prescient with time.

I really enjoy how this book was divided. It wasn’t split into too many categories which made me look forward to and feel curious of the next (No, I don’t look at the chapters when I start reading…)

I don’t have anything bad to say about it. Kate Manne throughly discusses how race influences privilege throughout, of course if she hadn’t it would be somewhat pointless.
