As handy as title of new essay band of RebeccaSolnit is, he leads a little astray. After all, topic of Mutterschaftversus infertility, which is constantly pushy to women of childbearing age, is only marginal in mor of all questions. Or rar, in only 15-page kick-off essay. The rest of Buchesbeschäftigt with a completely different, albeit no less central problem: silence. And thus, in a way, or side of mansplaining – a term which, thanks to Solnits predecessor work, is pleased with world’s inflationary popularity and has since 2014 even found an Imoxford English dictionary.

A man who likes to hear himself talking is in inmost cases (at least) facing a woman who is silent. In twelve texts, created between 2014 and 2016, declined Solnit mechanisms of Totmachens in all variants – sometimes expressed pointedly and entertainingly, sometimes rar redundantly. The quality and relevance of contributions may vary, Docheines succeeds author brilliantly: The analysis of a pandemic männlicherGewalt that permeates our society to finest veins.
Systemic violence
Solnit does not claim that path from mansplaining to Massenmordsei is short or compelling (even if it macabre überspitztformuliert in one place: “Killing or people is still easiest way to be plays voice in space.”). Instead, it concentrates on diezugrunde-like effects of misogyny, which can be expressed in herablassendenSprechakten as well as in bloody massacres.
Starting with DerAnekdote of a transsexual biologist at Stanford University, Vonseinen experiences in science field before and after Transitionberichtet (“I can now even finish a sentence without being interrupted by EinemMann.”), to To rampage of Isla Vista. For a few years, author said, 22-year-old who had been met by women’s hatred, who killed six people in May 2014 and 13 or injured, alspsychopathischen individual perpetrators, and not as an expression of einersystemischen violence by men to women.

Only explosive effect of social media campaigns such as YesAllWomen anchors this realization gradually in public Bewusstsein.Im, celebrities such as Bill Cosby – Mittlerweileüber 60 women’s sexual abuse – can no longer be accused of On Gewissheitausruhen, to be automatically those who are heard and respected.

Stone Age myths and censorship debates
