Manne, Kate: Entitled

Perfekt!

"Together, we must fight for a world in which girls and women are valued, cared for, and believed, within our social, legal, and medical institutions. Together, we must fight for a world in which the bodies of girls and women are not routinely controlled, sexualized, harassed, assaulted, and injured - or even destroyed altogether. Together, we must fight for a world in which every girl and woman is safe and free to be her own person, rather than consigned to be predominantly a human giver of sex, care, and love to which privileged boys and men are tacitly deemed entitled."Kate Manne is an associate professor of philosophy at Cornell University. In “Entitled”, she explains how males (especially white males) have been the entitled social group for generations. She touches on misogyny, male entitlement, male privilege and toxic masculinity. Her language is remarkable, and I love the way she presents the data in this book. This book is not easy to read. It touches on several important subjects that are quite difficult to write or read about, for example sexual assault. Also, the data presented is at times quite dense. I find it very hard to review this book, as Manne’s language is so beautiful and well-written that my words could never compare. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and took lots of notes while going through it. This is a book that everyone, male or female, should read. I am planning to read “Down girl” soon, and I expect it to be equally fascinating and well written. Please, Professor Manne, do not let this be your last book!

This is the best book about the impossible world that women have to deal with every day
