Abstract

Misogyny is a weighty term. Its affective power invokes spectres of rape, sexual assault, hate-fuelled insults and gas-lighting. Its presence in nearly every culture on the planet haunts our pasts and frames our presents. Aiming to build an understanding of misogyny for our future social justice efforts, I look to Kate Manne’s Down Girl: The Logic of Misogyny, where she dusts off an old definition of misogyny as the hatred of women to describe it as the enforcement branch of a patriarchal society, a renewed engagement for feminists and activists alike. In particular, this framing provides opportunities to examine misogyny from an intersectional lens, including its intersections with race, gender and sexuality. For example, through stories such as that of Pamela George, an Indigenous woman from Regina, Saskatchewan who was murdered in 1995, I argue that it is crucial that we recognise the collusion between settler colonialism and misogyny. Or in the case of transphobic comedian Dave Chapelle, we must understand the interplay of heteronormativity and cisnormativity in propping up transmisogyny. Consequently, I argue that an intersectional logic of misogyny provides not only a shift but a tipping point for feminist and queer movements to come.
称之为厌女症
厌女症是一个很重的词。它的情感力量唤起了强奸、性侵犯、仇恨引发的侮辱和煤气灯的幽灵。它几乎存在于地球上的每一种文化中,困扰着我们的过去,塑造着我们的现在。为了为我们未来的社会正义努力建立对厌女症的理解,我参考了凯特·曼恩(Kate Manne)的《堕落女孩:厌女症的逻辑》(Down Girl: The Logic of misogyny)。在这本书中,她重新将厌女症定义为对女性的仇恨,将其描述为父权社会的执行分支,是女权主义者和活动人士的新参与。特别是,这种框架提供了从交叉视角审视厌女症的机会,包括它与种族、性别和性的交叉。例如,通过帕梅拉·乔治(Pamela George)的故事(她是萨斯喀彻温省里贾纳的一名土著妇女,于1995年被谋杀),我认为,我们必须认识到移民殖民主义与厌女症之间的勾结。或者以恐跨性别喜剧演员戴夫·夏贝尔(Dave Chapelle)为例,我们必须理解异性恋规范性和顺性规范性在支持跨性别女性症方面的相互作用。因此,我认为厌女症的交叉逻辑不仅为女权主义和酷儿运动的到来提供了一个转变,而且是一个转折点。
