Down Girl, Chapter 3
Debate structure
- Readings for next time: critics of Manne who will give us more ideas for the negative side
- Rebuttal--need to make targeted objections
- Re naive definition: it wouldn't be so difficult to recognize instances of misogyny if we saw it as something in a person's "heart"
- Re disappointed diner: is that really misogyny? What about other cases of reacting to bad service (where server is a man, or person reacting is a woman)?
Misogyny vs. sexism
- Sexism--definition that Cudd and Jones reject (Cudd and Jones, p. 157)
- Sexism--definition that Cudd and Jones accept (Cudd and Jones, p. 158)
- Sexism vs. misogyny--definitions Manne proposes

- Example of sexism in the news--Ernst and Young training
- Misogyny--harassing or firing someone who doesn't comply with that ideology (e.g. Ann Hopkins, Price Waterhouse 1989)
- But Manne doesn't discuss discrimination much in this book
CBS news
Trump, Clinton, reproductive rights
- Donald Trump: misogyny, but possibly no sexism
- Hillary Clinton and Julia Gillard: treated as witches and bitches
- denial of reproductive rights as a form of misogyny
