Kate Manne

Desde que tiene memoria, Kate Manne ha querido ser más delgada. Puede decirte cuánto pesaba en cualquier ocasión importante: el día de su boda, el día en que se convirtió en profesora o el día en que nacio su hija. La han acosado y menospreciado por su tamaño, lo que la ha llevado a someterse a dietas extremas. Como filosofa feminista, queria creer que estaba exenta del mandato cultural que obliga a ignorar el hambre, pero no era asi. Al combinar historias intimas con el analisis perspicaz que se ha convertido en su sello distintivo, Manne muestra por que? la gordofobia se ha convertido en una cuestion vital de justicia social. En las ultimas decadas, los prejuicios implicitos han disminuido en todas las categorias, desde la raza hasta la orientacion sexual, excepto en una: el tamaño corporal. Irreductibles examina como funciona la gordofobia, como nos lleva a hacer suposiciones devastadoras sobre el atractivo, la fortaleza y la inteligencia de una persona, y como se entrecruza con otros sistemas de opresion. La gordofobia es responsable de diferencias salariales, negligencias medicas y malos resultados educativos; una camisa de fuerza que restringe nuestra libertad, nuestro movimiento y nuestro potencial. Manne propone una reevaluacion radical de para quien existen nuestros cuerpos en el mundo: para nosotros mismos y para nadie mas.

Traduit de langlais, un panorama des multiples droits dont sont investis les hommes pour la seule raison quils sont des hommes, et des effets de ce privilege sur la situation des femmes. Depuis plusieurs annees, Kate Manne, professeure de philosophie aux Etats-Unis, etudie la place des femmes dans les societes occidentales. Dans la continuite de son precedent livre, ou elle definissait la misogynie comme un dispositif de controle et de repression des femmes dans la sphere publique, le present ouvrage (dont la version originale a ete publiee par Crown, du groupe Penguin) se concentre sur les rouages de la domination masculine. Il sagit dexposer en quoi les violences commises a lencontre des femmes senracinent dans le sentiment diffus que tout est du aux hommes, qui se voient reconnaitre des privileges sur la seule base de leur sexe : droit a ladmiration, au consentement sexuel, au controle des corps, au travail des femmes, au pouvoir... Tel est le sens (sans equivalent en français) du titre original : Entitled. La force de ce livre est quil ne se contente pas de poser un cadre danalyse solide a meme darmer intellectuellement les lecteur·rices. Il etaye sa demonstration par de nombreux exemples (dans lunivers medical, la justice, en politique, en entreprise, a la maison, etc.) et adopte une indispensable approche intersectionnelle, tant certaines femmes (pauvres, handicapees, non blanches...) subissent de façon accrue ce phenomene. Ecrit dans une langue tres accessible et volontiers ironique, ce livre, au-dela de la mise au jour dun etat de fait inique, apporte des raisons desperer une societe enfin egalitaire.

NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FINALISTRequired reading for everyone who lives in an unruly human body... elegant, fierce, and profound Roxane GaySize discrimination harms everyone. Acclaimed philosopher Kate Manne shows how to combat it.For as long as she can remember, Kate Manne has wanted to be smaller. She can tell you what she weighed on any significant occasion: her wedding day, the day she became a professor, the day her daughter was born. Shes been bullied and belittled for her size, leading to extreme dieting. As a feminist philosopher, she wanted to believe that she was exempt from the cultural gaslighting that compels so many of us to ignore our hunger. But she was not.Blending intimate stories with trenchant analysis, Manne shows why fatphobia matters, now more than ever. Over the last decades, bias has waned in every category except one: body size. Here she examines how anti-fatness operates how it leads us to make devastating assumptions about a persons attractiveness, fortitude and intellect, and how it intersects with other systems of oppression. Fatphobia is responsible for wage gaps, medical neglect and poor educational outcomes. It is a straitjacket, restricting our freedom, our movement, our potential. Fatphobia is a social justice issue.In this urgent call to action, Manne proposes a new politics of body reflexivity -- a radical re-evaluation of who our bodies exist in the world for: ourselves and no one else. When it comes to fatphobia, the solution is not to love our bodies more. Instead, we must dismantle the forces that control and constrain us, and remake the world to accommodate people of every size.

An important and compelling analysis of a phenomenon thats everywhere Cordelia Fine, Big IssueOffers a sharply cut prism through which to view our everyday experience Afua Hirsch, The TLSA powerful, lucid analysis of the logic of misogyny from a remarkable feminist thinker, Down Girl is essential reading for the #MeToo era.Misogyny is a hot topic, yet its often misunderstood. What is misogyny, exactly? Who deserves to be called a misogynist? How does misogyny contrast with sexism, and why is it prone to persist - or increase - even when sexist gender roles are waning? In Down Girl moral philosopher Kate Manne argues that misogyny should not be understood primarily in terms of the hatred or hostility some men feel toward all or most women. Rather, it is primarily about controlling, policing, punishing and exiling the "bad" women who challenge male dominance. And it is compatible with rewarding "the good ones" and singling out other women to serve as warnings to those who are out of order.

Kate Manne is the Simone de Beauvoir of the 21st century - Amanda MarcotteI want to press this book on every schoolgirl who thinks that feminism is uncool, any woman who thinks the most important gender battles are won, pretty much every man I know, and say, have you thought about this? Sophie McBain, New StatesmanMale 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 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 womens 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.
