This is a remarkable book. Manne pays extraordinarily close attention to definitions and meanings, so every reader benefits from her careful dissection of the meaning of misogyny. As she argues, the purpose of misogyny is to "police and enforce a patriarchal order." She works through numerous examples that had been in the news prior to the book's publication in 2018. Many of these I recalled and some I did not, but all of them were well-chosen to Manne's purpose. The discussion of "himpathy" -- the wide latitude given to men accused of sexual assault -- is pointed, revealing, and profoundly disturbing in what it reveals about our society.
