Sample Book Insights:

#1 The notion of misogyny is becoming more and more prevalent in the media. It is typically defined as a property of individual agents who are prone to feel hatred, hostility, or other similar emotions toward any and all women, simply because they are women.

#2 My goal in the first part of the book is to undertake what Sally Haslanger has called an analytical or ameliorative project. I aim to ameliorate the definition of misogyny by highlighting its political dimensions.

#3 The Isla Vista killings were a clear example of misogyny in action. Many saw it as a dramatic manifestation of a wider cultural pattern of misogyny that often festers beneath the surface in America today.

#4 The #YesAllWomen campaign was launched shortly after the shooting, as a response to the widespread defense of Rodger’s actions as justified. Many women testified to their experiences of male aggression, hostility, and violence.
