Book excerpt: An urgent exploration of men’s entitlement and how it serves to police and punish women, from the acclaimed author of Down Girl “Kate Manne is a thrilling and provocative feminist thinker. Her work is indispensable.”—Rebecca Traister NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY THE ATLANTIC In this bold and stylish critique, Cornell philosopher Kate Manne offers a radical new framework for understanding misogyny. Ranging widely across the culture, from Harvey Weinstein and the Brett Kavanaugh hearings to “Cat Person” and the political misfortunes of Elizabeth Warren, Manne’s book shows how privileged men’s sense of entitlement—to sex, yes, but more insidiously to admiration, care, bodily autonomy, knowledge, and power—is a pervasive social problem with often devastating consequences. In clear, lucid prose, Manne argues that 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.” Moreover, Manne implicates each of us in toxic masculinity: It’s not just a product of a few bad actors; it’s something we all perpetuate, conditioned as we are by the social and cultural mores of our time. The only way to combat it, she says, is to expose the flaws in our default modes of thought while enabling women to take up space, say their piece, and muster resistance to the entitled attitudes of the men around them. With wit and intellectual fierceness, Manne sheds new light on gender and power and offers a vision of a world in which women are just as entitled as men to our collective care and concern.

Download or read book A Wonderful Life written by Frank Martela and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2020-04-28 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a series of essays that explore the notion of what brings significance to our existences, clarifying why we have this longing beyond the present moment and an insatiable dissatisfaction with where we are, scholar Frank Martela tackles the subject of finding meaning in life. With beautiful decorative elements and an engaging design, the book approaches its subject in a readily digestible form. It grapples with some of life’s most pressing questions, like "Is happiness a worthy goal?" and "What is the foundation for meaning in a secular society?" and "Is life an existential void?" yet Martela answers these questions and more in a relaxed, conversational tone and with a wry sense of humor, placing some of life’s greatest philosophical concerns and quandaries into a modern-day context. Martela quickly and concisely gets to the heart of the matter: your place in the world and how to find meaning in life as countless thinkers and philosophers have done before, yet the emphasis here is on what we do with the life we have and how we can make it more meaningful. Part prescriptive and part armchair philosophy book, A Wonderful Life is accessible to everyone, from the well-read scholar to the apprentice as well as anyone curious about how to extract the greatest meaning and sense of purpose from their existence.

Download or read book The Entitled Generation written by Richard Ardia and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2021-02-15 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Society has a way of creating labels for cultural changes within our society. The label “The Entitled Generation” has been circulated widely among the population, mentioned many times in the media, and discussed among a variety of educators and parents. The exposure to this term has adhered to the generation of young people who have been enabled and overprotected by their parents and guardians. A very real softening of the standards applied to previous generations has worked itself into time-outs and explanations or excuses, instead of effective disciplines and consequences. News reports of children suing their parents and a wide outbreak of young people feeling they are entitled to endless indulgences without taking responsibility for their own actions exists today. This may well be a result of being enabled and disabled by those that have great influence on their behaviors and attitudes. Far too many parents, guardians, and grandparents have collapsed on the methods necessary to build responsibility and create realistic expectations. Unfortunately, the word no has all but evaporated from common use. We are experiencing a true evolution in the methods used to raise our children and young adults. Today, we celebrate when a child behaves well as it seems to have become the exception rather than the rule. How did this happen? Why did it happen? Is it truly as bad as some would claim? What can we do to reverse the polarity of the movement? The Entitled Generation will chronologically highlight the answers to these and many more questions. It is very important to understand how and why our methodology for raising our children has changed so much from previous generations. What were the cultural events that created the need for these changes? The purpose of this book is to provide a complete understanding of this shifting movement, yet to simply identify the causes is not enough to justify the purpose of this book. The author combines his vast business and management experiences, his time serving as an educator, and his own life experiences to provide fourteen key solutions. These guidelines will combine the best methods in business management with the most effective guidelines for parents and guardians having the responsibility of raising children. The future of our country will always remain in the hands of the next generation.
