<p><b>''Kate Manne is the Simone de Beauvoir of the 21st century'' - Amanda Marcotte</b><br><br><b>''I want to press this book on every schoolgirl who thinks that feminism is uncool, any woman who thinks the most important gender battles are won, pretty much every man I know, and say, have you thought about this?'' Sophie McBain, <i>New Statesman</i></b><br><br>Male entitlement takes many forms. To sex, yes, but more insidiously to admiration, bodily autonomy, knowledge, power, even care. In this urgent intervention, philosopher Kate Manne offers a radical new framework for understanding misogyny. <br><br>In clear-sighted, powerful prose, she ranges widely across the culture to show how the idea that a privileged man is tacitly deemed to be owed something is a pervasive problem. Male entitlement can explain a wide array of phenomena, from mansplaining and the undertreatment of women''s pain to mass shootings by incels and the seemingly intractable notion that women are ''unelectable''.
