1. Down Girl
"Down Girl" is a philosophical examination of misogyny, exploring how it serves as a system of social control that polices and enforces the norms and expectations about women's roles in society. The book analyzes how misogyny differs from sexism and focuses on the punishment of women who deviate from patriarchal norms, rather than just the prejudice or discrimination based on gender. Through a detailed analysis of language, culture, and societal structures, the book argues that misogyny is not about male hostility or hatred towards women per se, but about enforcing women's subordination and upholding male dominance.
