Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

A vital exploration of gender politics from a highly influential intellectual who has been described as 'the philosopher of #MeToo'.

Male entitlement takes many forms. To sex, yes, but more insidiously to admiration, bodily autonomy, knowledge, power, even care. In this urgent intervention, philosopher Kate Manne offers a radical new framework for understanding misogyny.

In clear-sighted, powerful prose, she ranges widely across the culture - from the Kavanaugh hearings and 'Cat Person' to Harvey Weinstein and Elizabeth Warren - to show how the idea that a privileged man is tacitly deemed to be owed something is a pervasive problem.

Male entitlement can explain a wide array of phenomena, from mansplaining and the undertreatment of women's pain to mass shootings by incels and the seemingly intractable notion that women are 'unelectable'.

The consequences for girls and women are often devastating.

As Manne shows, toxic masculinity is not just the product of a few bad actors; we are all implicated, conditioned as we are by the currents of our time. With wit and intellectual fierceness, she sheds new light on gender and power and offers a vision of a world in which women are just as entitled as men to be cared for, believed and valued.

Inspiring and challenging

This is a no holds barred account of how difficult life is for women, which men fail to realise. It is a struggle. It’s read very well and is actually quite gripping to listen to. I really enjoyed it. Thanks.

Exceptional!

Every woman should read this book. It's eye-opening, brutally honest and very informative. At times I was shocked and angry, at times I was sad but I was never indifferent. I'm so glad I listened to it.

Wow

This book triggered, angered and brought me to a place of clarity and power! Throughout my life I have made excuses, compromised, accepted, played small and even given up my autonomy to ‘live peacefully’ and follow the long lived tradition that the man is the head and is always right. That men should be served and held in high esteem from the office to the bedroom, that they know what’s best and cannot be argued with or challenged otherwise I will pay. Not physically but emotionally by being ignored, having negative comments made and being manipulated to think I was cruel, lazy, unkind and awkward. I encourage both women and men to read this book and make the necessary changes in their own lives so that you can benefit by always being authentic to who you were created to be!

Any ‘feminsit’ book who refers to women as ‘birthing bodies’ is men’s rights activism in wearing a mask.

Book refers to misogyny, abuse and prejudice women face because they’re women and then goes on to refer to women as ‘birthing bodies’. The book appears to be more concerned with biological men who believe they’re women than women. I wouldn’t waste my money or my time. This isn’t feminism this is men’s rights activism.

Delusional

A myopic book based on a narrative seen only from the perspective of the so called underprivileged woman. It's just assumed here that men aren't treated badly and sail through life on a sea of privilege.. So why do women have to try so hard to succeed? Well the problem there is the assumption is completely wrong. Which leads to a fundamentally flawed comparison of a woman's experience Vs the illusion of a man's experience from someone who has no idea what it is to be a man.. In reality men are completely unprotected and have to compete or fail, defend themselves or die. This book seems to believe that if men don't allow women whatever they want they are being entitled, ironically a completely entitled argument. Unfortunately in modern society women are coddled, praised constantly and have outweighed power in a increasingly feminised west and this is what that leads to. A level of entitlement that's absolutely off the charts. A book decrying why men don't bend over backwards to make things as easy as possible for women, but no thought for what women themselves can offer society. The performance of the narrator was quite good, unfortunately the book itself i's pure delusion.
