Down Girl: The Logic of Misogyny by Kate Manne
5.0
I am a sl*t for books with great footnotes and epigraphs and boy did this one deliver.
This is one of the best modern books I’ve read on misogyny in a hot minute. This lady came with facts and facts only. Also reminded me how much the world was robbed when we voted for trump and not Hillary. I had annotations on every page. BANGER.
But be warned:
1) all the trigger warnings for violence and crimes against women
2) this boi is academic as fk. Reads like a PhD dissertation on level 10. Not for the faint of heart. Not easily digestible if you haven’t already read this caliber of academic writing. (Still worth it and I do think still manageable for all levels of readers. Some just might need to go slow WHICH IS OK. Take your time with this one anyways because marinating in this is really great).
