### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It's the COSTS not the MOTIVE.
*by D***S on 11 September 2018*

Dr. Manne has written a well-researched, reader-friendly book on misogyny, the content of which should be included as core curriculum in middle schools. Dr. Manne addresses several limitations (who can cover everything in one book?) to her thesis such as misogynoir, equal rights for transwomen, etc., but has more than sufficiently researched and defended her argument regarding misogyny. She examines misogyny as the enduring traditions, customs and actions that signal women to “stay in their lane” and not compete for roles, jobs, titles or the economics traditionally retained by men. Identifying misogyny as the COSTS women bear and not the MOTIVES of the men involved was one of the significant takeaways for me.Like Prof. Manne, I agree dehumanisation (depriving a person of human qualities, instead attributing animal-like qualities to them) is not the main mechanism of misogyny, but it certainly is one practice that will signal misogyny is at work to keep women in their lane (note the terms men use when discussing women’s sexuality, particularly when women’s choices are seen as ‘outside their lane’).I originally bought this book as the Audible version but added the paper book to mark vital passages for further reference. You won’t be sorry you purchased this book.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A forensic study of misogyny
*by V***C on 9 December 2017*

What can we do in the age of Weinstein and Trump? We can start by learning about the nature of misogyny, so we know what we’re up against.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Essential reading for men
*by P***D on 3 August 2020*

Kate Manne concludes Down Girl on a pessimistic note: “Even trying [to present misogyny as a disciplining mechanism in our heteropatriarchal society] is liable to make me seem nasty, abrasive, and pushy (dare I say, shrilly) and give rise to the sort of resistance that […] tends to be fatal. Or, if one does manage to sugar-coat it, it becomes self-defeating. So I give up. I wish I could offer a more hopeful message.“I think Manne’s pessimism is unjustified, though as a cis and read-as-heterosexual man it’s much easier for me to say this than it is for her since I don’t sound (womanly) shrill, untrustworthy and/or unreliable with ideas above my station when I try to explain to other men (and some women) that our women-as-givers, men-as-entitled-receivers worldview is both unjustified and sub-optimal except for a minority (white cishet men and their partners) as well as being deeply discriminatory and plain immoral.In 8 chapters, which you can read one after another (as I did) or singly after reading the introduction and conclusion for orientation - in both cases print out the table of contents to keep track of where you are (I didn’t do this and sometimes was missing where I was in the overall roadmap) - Manne justifies her concept and analysis of misogyny with both empirical evidence (from poetry for kids and Twitter rants through to killings of women and the cases of Hillary Clinton and Julia Gillard) and (analytic philosophical - but it’s not too hard 😉) investigation of what we can understand under the terms “misogyny“ and “sexism“. Once you’ve got the general idea, you can dive back into the book to find the most suitable arguments and evidence for a given situation. Which I fully intend to do and which all men should do, only men can fix this situation, starting off by recognising it and then choosing the best candidate for a given job or political office having removed the distorting misogynistic glasses.
