Down Girl: The Logic of Misogyny

Manne introduces interesting concepts like “himpathy” and provides useful examples of how women are punished more than men when they act in morally reprehensible ways. Nevertheless, the book spends an excessive number of pages discussing the 2016 US Election and explaining why Hillary didn't win. As a non-american this was extremely annoying, as at times it felt like an “Ode to Hillary”. I almost gave it 2 stars because of all the discussion of how “Hillary lost because of misogyny”, while at least to me Hillary displayed misogynistic attitudes as well.
