Down Girl: The Logic of Misogyny by Kate Manne
3.0
When I was initially recommended this book I wasn’t expecting it to be as heavy. I was expecting this to be a light weekend read and I was wrong. No matter the case it was a well written book on the topic.
My only gripe I had reading The Logic of misogyny is for the first couple chapters I had to constantly reference my dictionary in order to understand what the author was saying. After that point it was a very easy breezy read.
The author provides multiple examples throughout using recent news in the media, stories, and current politics in the last 10 years. With those examples I felt that it made their thesis understandable as well as to provide a new interpretation of those events that I have not considered before.
Content warning: sexual assault, rape, murder
