Kate Manne is a philosopher who is widely regarded as the Simone de Beauvoir of the 21st century. Her book, "The End of Men," offers a radical new framework for understanding misogyny and explores how the idea that a privileged man is tacitly deemed to be owed something is a pervasive problem in society. Manne's clear-sighted, powerful prose ranges widely across the culture to show how 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. The consequences for girls and women are often devastating.

Manne argues that toxic masculinity is not just the product of a few bad actors, but is a result of the currents of our time. She sheds new light on gender and power and offers a vision of a world in which women are just as entitled as men to be cared for, believed, and valued. This book is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the root causes of misogyny and work towards creating a more equitable and just society.
