Many men just want to get away with rape, of course, or see others do so. But for other men who consume "sleep" porn passively, think it's also about getting women's shaming gaze off men's faces katemanne.substack.com/p/why-men-ar...

So honored! 🥹

What If We Stopped Blaming Women for their Husbands? We need to create the conditions where it is easy to leave, not shameful to have missed the warning signs or put up with bad behavior.

I highly recommend philosopher @katemanne.bsky.social for people who really want to understand the dynamics.

She’s brilliant. This is her most recent article.

On Being the Cassandra An interview with the creators of the extraordinary podcast that teaches us new lessons about sexual abuse, the power of adults over children, and what it means to advocate for victims.

I'm so pleased to have had the chance to interview the creators of the extraordinary new podcast Adults in the Room from @kuow.org on what it means to advocate for survivors katemanne.substack.com/p/on-being-t...

The introductory paragraph of the article: Central to my view is that cruelty is ordinary. We may not want to believe it, and we may attempt to stave off the realization in any number of ways. But it is difficult to deny, especially when one confronts the realities of misogyny and male dominance. Men rape, strangle, and beat women-and, oftentimes, children too-in our own neighborhoods and communities, even our own families, on a disturbingly regular basis. (Manne 2018; 2020) If one wants to examine human cruelty, it is common to begin by examining the periods of historical unrest that make us reach for words like "atrocity" and "genocide." I don't deny, of course, that this is important and illuminating. But beginning closer to home has long been my modus operandi.

This is so good. @katemanne.bsky.social is great at setting out the terms of analysis in simple words, lucidly.

New article by @katemanne.bsky.social just published!

"Ordinary Cruelty: Explaining Misogyny without Dehumanization"

The article argues misogynistic cruelty stems from moral vilification, entitlement, and devaluation rather than dehumanization, with broader implications for explaining cruelty.

Between this and the “men’s response to tradwives“ study, I wonder if we fail to identify the power of men’s resentment and the ways they weaponize it to reinforce misogyny

As I say in the post

"We have so very far to go before women are treated in accordance with a third logic that Kant famously identified—not fancy price, nor market price, but the logic of dignity, where our humanity as a rational subject with autonomy is honored."

The Madonna-Whore Complex is Fracturing On a case of digital rape in Germany

open.substack.com/pub/katemann...

Much to think about as usual from @katemanne.bsky.social . Her argument about the changes brought about by digitalization et al goes way beyond the salacious details of the headline case, of course, & you'll want to follow her link to her other writing about it.

Ähnliche Gedanken hatte ich vor kurzem hier gepostet. Jetzt gibt es einen neuen Artikel von Kate Manne dazu. Bin schon gespannt auf‘s lesen

The Madonna-Whore Complex is Fracturing On a case of digital rape in Germany

I wrote about the Collien Fernandes/Christian Ulmen case here katemanne.substack.com/p/the-madonn...

Wives used to be on a pedestal—precarious but protected. What the devastating case of Collien Fernandes shows is that that is quickly changing—husbands are increasingly getting off on treating their Madonna figure like a whore

Characteristically, a Black feminist has been all over this for decades: Tarana Burke's #MeToo movement centered Black and brown girls well over a decade before the hashtag was popularized by celebrities

There is No Hierarchy of Child Sexual Abuse Any form of sexual abuse can mark a fundamental and life-altering rupture for a victim.

Culturally we are now in our #TeensToo moment katemanne.substack.com/p/there-is-n...

«The fate of cis and trans women is, and has always been, deeply entangled. Policing and trying to control our bodies, by restricting abortion care and gender-affirming care, and enforcing norms of feminine appearance in sports and otherwise, is simply misogyny»

– Kate Manne

That means so much to me! Thank you 😊

💯💯💯

I spent all week teaching @katemanne.bsky.social's work on misogyny and this is textbook misogyny. This is punishing "the wrong kind of woman" for being the wrong kind of woman* in order to enforce sexist gender expectations.

Trans Rights or GTFO.

Friends Don’t Let Friends Ignore Their Husband’s Red Flags Or, why Lindy West is a Rorschach for feminists.

Es stimmt, was @katemanne.bsky.social schreibt: wir schulden es uns gegenseitig bessere Freund*innen zu sein und über die red flags dieser Dudes offen zu sprechen, auch wenn es das Gegenteil dessen ist, was wir gelernt haben.

katemanne.substack.com/p/friends-do...

Great conversation. It did not need to provide all the answers (who could?) for it to feel encouraging.
I’ll add a recommendation to buy and read both books - sharp, very well written, will leave you wanting to tell everyone you know about them.

This talk was A+, would recommend
