Down Girl

Down Girl: The Logic of Misogyny by Kate Manne is a work of moral philosophy that examines the dynamics of misogyny.

Manne introduces the concept of the 'human giver' and 'human being' to illustrate how societal expectations place undue burdens on women.

The book explores how women are often expected to prioritize the needs of others over their own, leading to emotional exhaustion and burnout.

It analyzes the ways in which women are punished for not conforming to these expectations.

Manne's work provides a critical framework for understanding the systemic nature of misogyny and its impact on women's lives.
