Philosophy For Girls

Misogyny is a hot topic, yet it's often misunderstood. What is misogyny, exactly? Who deserves to be called a misogynist? How does misogyny contrast with sexism, and why is it prone to persist - or increase - even when sexist gender roles are waning? This book is an exploration of misogyny in public life and politics by the moral philosopher Kate Manne. It argues that misogyny should not be understood primarily in terms of the hatred or hostility some men feel toward all or most women. Rather, it's primarily about controlling, policing, punishing, and exiling the "bad" women.

THIS is a book for the top shelf, out of the boy’s reach. Not that its counsels are bad; though it frankly takes the risk of going behind rules and commands to principles and freedom. The reason why no boy should read it is that it describes stages through which the normal boy should pass in entire unconsciousness that such stages exist That was not a wholesome attitude revealed by a Seattle boy, who, in reply to his teacher’s question, “What is the matter with you, James?" replied, “Oh, I'm passing through adolescence." Parents, teachers and leaders, however, ought to know these ...

Currently, dated narratives push girls away in fear, and blind spots result in missed opportunities to pull them in. While efforts to increase diversity in science and mathematics have succeeded, outreach has largely ignored engineering—where there is still only one woman for every five men. This is especially troubling because engineering offers vastly more jobs than other STEM fields.

Middle-aged Jim Jones escapes from his humdrum marriage by faking a 'business trip' to Thailand. There he meets Noi, who transports him to heaven - and soon after, to hell. Luckily, he has a series of dreams in which he meets some of the great philosophers, and between them they help Jim to sort his life out. This book is, in its modest way, a philosophy book in itself, and though it all happened in Jim’s imagination, the philosophers have been made to speak in character and to express the philosophies they propounded. This is a revised and enlarged edition.
