Kate Manne has an extract from Soraya Chemaly's new book "All We Want is Everything: How We Dismantle Male Supremacy":
"These are not precursors to “real” fascism—they are its gendered expression. What’s typically dismissed as background noise, “women’s issues,” is in fact the main event: a fascism rooted in gendered domination, made the more dangerous by how intimate, normalized, and structural it is."

Dr. Kate Manne on everyday violence, in this case discussing the case of writer Alice Munro's daughter, who was abused by Munro's husband, and who Munro did not protect (choosing instead to protect the husband): "it is not that she was non- or sub-human to her mother in this moment, she was rather a human - all too human - *nuisance*, and to her step-father, a threat. He threatened to kill her if she ever spoke of it. He ended up getting 2 years and a suspended sentence."

Kate Manne - Unshrinking Science, history & ethics, woven together with her own experiences of being a fat woman. Gives a good overview of the territory: bad science around weight & weight loss, stigma applied to being fat, medical prejudice etc. One of the book's strengths is its descriptions of the author's own backstory of restricted eating & trying to be smaller. I have a sense of the book as being itself part of her moving on from that mindset, and what Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick referred to as "coming out as fat". Ultimately the book argues for neither "body positivity" nor "body neutrality", but what KM calls "body reflexivity": my body is for me, yours is for you. #books #fat #stigma #BMI #dieting #BadScience #ethics #memoir
> In "Down Girl: The Logic of Misogyny", philosopher Kate Manne describes a system in which one class of people, the “human givers,” are expected to offer their time, attention, affection, and bodies willingly, placidly, to the other class of people, the “human beings.” The implication in these terms is that human beings have a moral obligation to be or express their humanity, while human givers have a moral obligation to give their humanity to the human beings. *Guess which one women are.*

Useful post from Kate Manne about the types of sexism & misogynoir likely to be aimed at Kamala Harris.
