My unpopular opinion: anti-carceral reasoning gets trotted out selectively to rationalize the least progressive dynamic. It's called himpathy katemanne.substack.com/p/how-not-to...

Tech himpathy @katemanne.bsky.social

It’s been absolutely wild watching white men in their droves insist I am ignorant, bad at critical thinking, anti-science, MAHA, anti-vax, and any number of ableist slurs as well as ‘woke’ (trademark) and a self important warrior against injustice simply for observing this pattern to be misogynoir

It's like watching a car accident to see @tressiemcphd.bsky.social and I share the same experiences and criticism of exploitative and profiteering GLP-1 pushing and she gets piled on while I get... a few snide remarks

I literally say fat people (historical me included) are entitled to take this drug in this entirely free essay which you could even read

I’m just so fascinated by the fact that this was the post that started yesterdays ludicrous discourse around glp1-s and all the people jumping on Dr Cottom and Anil Dash’s mentions appear to have nothing to say to this post but plenty of yelling at the former. Very curious and interesting.

As a person who won the Pizza Hut reading challenge three years straight, I would argue that physiology, epidemiology, and public health are not the fields most relevant to the point of why it is easier for some people to access GLP-1s than albuterol.

My doctor has had to beg my insurer to cover my EpiPens.

I have struggled to get competent healthcare my entire life, across my lifetime's various income brackets. GLP-1s are the first and ONLY drug that every doctor, NP, phlebotomist, facialist have pushed on me. No info-seeking from me. No appointment. Just constant offers to give me GLP-1s.

This post definitely describes one of the problems with American healthcare as currently constituted. (Some nitpicks about the piece overall).

Walk into an urgent care and you have to opt out of a GLP-1 conversation katemanne.substack.com/p/a-woman-wa...

The Ambition Penalty by @stefanieoconnell.bsky.social is fantastic. It is chock full of data (including research from Dr. Elizabeth Legerski who teaches at my alma mater, the University of North Dakota). She proves that individual choice and empowerment will not get us to gender equality.

I agree with @katemanne.bsky.social about a hard NO toward sexual strangulation (katemanne.substack.com/p/how-sex-po...), especially considering its potential for brain damage. I hope that Manne also tells the Cornell admins. to end the football program. It, too, causes demonstrable brain damage.

I said what I said katemanne.substack.com/p/how-sex-po...

Whether or not patriarchy *oppresses* men, it certainly hurts them--and it hurts so many other people and creatures in the process when men can't be tender katemanne.substack.com/p/when-men-a...

Die Debatten über sexualisierte Gewalt könnten ein Wendepunkt sein, sagt die Philosophin Kate Manne. Denn nun geht es neben Frauen auch um Kinder. Das ändert vieles.

open.substack.com/pub/katemann... Like @katemanne.bsky.social , I’m ambivalent about MD, though for different reasons (her piece from last year discussing why, linked herein, is very strong & you should read it). But there are none of her recommendations that I *don’t* want to read.

Always a good time to re/read "Down Girl: The Logic of Misogyny" by Kate Manne

“Misogynistic cruelty is thus more a product of moral vilification, entitlement, and devaluation than dehumanization proper. I explore the implications for the need to posit dehumanization as a mechanism to explain cruelty elsewhere.” - @katemanne.bsky.social

The men who do monstrous things are of us and amongst us katemanne.substack.com/p/the-banali...

An excerpt I'm honored to feature from Robin Dembroff’s upcoming new book, Real Men on Top katemanne.substack.com/p/erecting-m...

If I tell you one thing, you likely won't sympathize. And that is wrong actually katemanne.substack.com/p/we-have-no...

open.substack.com/pub/katemann... "Reporting on Elkins’s crimes has described them as unimaginable and even inexplicable. But family annihilators strike once every five days on average in the US, making this the most common form of mass murder." @katemanne.bsky.social

It's not mental illness; it's patriarchy katemanne.substack.com/p/we-need-to...

I hate to say that this is really good (TW/CW: Rape, violence)

open.substack.com/pub/katemann... Wow. Read @katemanne.bsky.social 🙏

Many men just want to get away with rape, of course, or see others do so. But for other men who consume "sleep" porn passively, think it's also about getting women's shaming gaze off men's faces katemanne.substack.com/p/why-men-ar...

@katemanne.bsky.social eye-opening as per usual. thank you katemanne.substack.com/p/why-men-ar...

So honored! 🥹

I highly recommend philosopher @katemanne.bsky.social for people who really want to understand the dynamics. She’s brilliant. This is her most recent article.

I'm so pleased to have had the chance to interview the creators of the extraordinary new podcast Adults in the Room from @kuow.org on what it means to advocate for survivors katemanne.substack.com/p/on-being-t...

This is so good. @katemanne.bsky.social is great at setting out the terms of analysis in simple words, lucidly.

New article by @katemanne.bsky.social just published! "Ordinary Cruelty: Explaining Misogyny without Dehumanization" The article argues misogynistic cruelty stems from moral vilification, entitlement, and devaluation rather than dehumanization, with broader implications for explaining cruelty.

Between this and the “men’s response to tradwives“ study, I wonder if we fail to identify the power of men’s resentment and the ways they weaponize it to reinforce misogyny

"We have so very far to go before women are treated in accordance with a third logic that Kant famously identified—not fancy price, nor market price, but the logic of dignity, where our humanity as a rational subject with autonomy is honored."

open.substack.com/pub/katemann... Much to think about as usual from @katemanne.bsky.social . Her argument about the changes brought about by digitalization et al goes way beyond the salacious details of the headline case, of course, & you'll want to follow her link to her other writing about it.

Ähnliche Gedanken hatte ich vor kurzem hier gepostet. Jetzt gibt es einen neuen Artikel von Kate Manne dazu. Bin schon gespannt auf‘s lesen

Wives used to be on a pedestal—precarious but protected. What the devastating case of Collien Fernandes shows is that that is quickly changing—husbands are increasingly getting off on treating their Madonna figure like a whore

Culturally we are now in our #TeensToo moment katemanne.substack.com/p/there-is-n...

«The fate of cis and trans women is, and has always been, deeply entangled. Policing and trying to control our bodies, by restricting abortion care and gender-affirming care, and enforcing norms of feminine appearance in sports and otherwise, is simply misogyny» – Kate Manne

I spent all week teaching @katemanne.bsky.social's work on misogyny and this is textbook misogyny. This is punishing "the wrong kind of woman" for being the wrong kind of woman* in order to enforce sexist gender expectations. Trans Rights or GTFO. *does not actually exist

Es stimmt, was @katemanne.bsky.social schreibt: wir schulden es uns gegenseitig bessere Freund*innen zu sein und über die red flags dieser Dudes offen zu sprechen, auch wenn es das Gegenteil dessen ist, was wir gelernt haben. katemanne.substack.com/p/friends-do...

Great conversation. It did not need to provide all the answers (who could?) for it to feel encouraging. I’ll add a recommendation to buy and read both books - sharp, very well written, will leave you wanting to tell everyone you know about them.

This talk was A+, would recommend

The full conversation between me and @tressiemcphd.bsky.social. Honestly this was a banger, don't miss it 🔥https://mediacentral.princeton.edu/media/Tressie+McMillan+Cottom+and+Kate+Manne+-+In+Conversation/1_jnqspogr/401928122
