Pundits and politicians often opine on the irrelevance of feminism and the women's movement today. Some commentators describe the state of feminism as "post-feminist," alongside equally questionable claims of Barack Obama's election as signaling a "post-racial" America. Modern Misogyny examines contemporary anti-feminism in a "post-feminist" era. It considers the widespread notion that the feminist movement has ended, in large part because the work of feminism has been completed. In fact, the argument goes, women have been so successful in achieving equality, it is now men who currently are at risk of becoming irrelevant and unnecessary. These sentiments make up modern anti-feminism. Modern Misogyny argues that equality has not been fully achieved and that anti-feminism is now packaged in a more palatable, but stealthy form. This book addresses the nature, function, and implications of modern anti-feminism in the United States.

Modern Misogyny explores the landscape of popular culture and politics, emphasizing relatively recent moves away from feminist activism to individualism and consumerism where "self-empowerment" represents women's progress. It also explores the retreat to traditional gender roles after September 11, 2001. It interrogates the assumption that feminism is unnecessary, that women have achieved equality, and therefore those women who do insist on being feminists want to get ahead of men. Finally, it takes a fresh look at the positive role that feminism plays in today's "post-feminist" era, and how feminism does and might function in women's lives.

Post-feminist discourse encourages young women to believe that they were born into a free society, so if they experience discrimination, it is an individual, isolated problem that may even be their own fault. Modern Misogyny examines that rendering of feminism as irrelevant and as the silencing and marginalizing of feminists. Anderson calls for a revived feminism that is vigilant in combatting modern forms of sexism.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"This book is a thought-provoking read in its own right. Anderson's narrative weaves together a cogent argument about why feminism is just as necessary as it ever was--or
maybe, because of the backlash against it, more necessary than it ever was. In an academic setting, this book could be paired with other primary sources for an advanced undergraduate, capstone, or graduate course in social psychology or women's studies for an in-depth examination of a number of different social psychological and feminist themes. It also lends itself to a pop culture or sociology course for related topics." --Paige Muellerleile, Psychology of Women Quarterly

"Modern Misogyny is an important and valuable work that needs to be required reading for feminists and non-feminists alike. Anderson demonstrates why feminism as a collective effort for societal change is still vitally necessary in the U.S. the 21st century." --Kimberly Fairchild

Book Description

Modern Misogyny argues that equality has not been fully achieved and that anti-feminism is now packaged in a more palatable, but stealthy form--addressing nature, function, and implications of modern anti-feminism in the United States.

    This is an incredibly well-researched book packed with statistics, insights, and important questions for our time. After spending just one hour diving into the contents, so much in my world became instantly clearer. Shortly after reading the book, I met a friend for dinner who works in the corporate arena and tested some of the data points on her. Everything was spot on with her own experiences and observations. I suspect this book will influence my thinking, actions, and what I teach my own children for years to come. Thank you, Kristin, for producing such an important piece of work.

    This book provides an exceptional reality to feminism. This book highlights many, if not all, arguments against feminism and hits right back with proof as to why anti-feminist perspectives/ arguments are made-up, even nonexistent.

    What does misogyny have to do with opposition to feminism?? Feminism is a leftist political ideology rife with terrible ideas and deserving of criticism. Opposing it has nothing at all to do with misogyny.

    Whilst written predominantly from a US perspective with few examples from Asia, Africa or Latin America, this book argues how modern misogyny with the collusion of some patriarchal women seeks to undermine feminism.It is well written and well argued.
