Abstract
Kate Manne’s Down Girl. The Logic of Misogyny provides a new definition of misogyny, which is a system of punishments and rewards with the purpose of sustaining the patriarchal order. Sexism, instead, is the ideology that justifies the gender roles in a patriarchal society. In this way, the author manages to account for phenomena, like a sexist joke and a femicide, that differ in character and intensity, and to underline the common root. The book refers continuously to real-life facts. By the advantages and innovation, the book will most probably become a milestone of the debate on genders
