This week’s radical is Kate Manne, a Sage School of Philosophy professor and author of two books, Down Girl: The Logic of Misogyny (2018) and Entitled: How Male Privilege Hurts Women (2020). She also coined the term "himpathy."
In our conversation, we discuss Kate's newest book, how the Kavanaugh hearings and "incel" culture inspired her, the ways in which sexism and misogyny differ as tools of patriarchy, and the imbalance of gendered expectations around emotional labor. We also dive into her upbringing in Australia, the challenges of attending an all-boys school as a girl, and the commodification of women as sexual currency.
