Why is this paradoxical response to women so widespread, so far-reaching, so all-pervasive? Misogyny, David D. Gilmore suggests, is best described as a male malady, as it has always been a characteristic shared by human societies throughout the world.Misogyny: The Male Malady is a comprehensive historical and anthropological survey of woman-hating that casts new light on this age-old bias. The turmoil of masculinity and the ugliness of misogyny have been well documented in different cultures, but Gilmore's synoptic approach identifies misogyny in a variety of human experiences outside of sex and marriage and makes a fresh and enlightening contribution toward understanding this phenomenon. Gilmore maintains that misogyny is so widespread and so pervasive among men that it must be at least partly psychogenic in origin, a result of identical experiences in the male developmental cycle, rather than caused by the environment alone.Presenting a wealth of compelling examples-from the jungles of New Guinea to the boardrooms of corporate America-Gilmore shows that misogynistic practices occur in hauntingly identical forms. He asserts that these deep and abiding male anxieties stem from unresolved conflicts between men's intense need for and dependence upon women and their equally intense fear of that dependence. However, misogyny, according to Gilmore, is also often supported and intensified by certain cultural realities, such as patrilineal social organization; kinship ideologies that favor fraternal solidarity over conjugal unity; chronic warfare, feuding, or other forms of intergroup violence; and religious orthodoxy or asceticism. Gilmore is in the end able to offer steps toward the discovery of antidotes to this irrational but global prejudice, providing an opportunity for a lasting cure to misogyny and its manifestations. 606 $aMisogyny 606 $aPSYCHOLOGY$2bisac 606 $aHuman Sexuality$2bisac 606 $aGender & Ethnic Studies$2HILCC 606 $aSocial Sciences$2HILCC 606 $aGender Studies & Sexuality$2HILCC 610 $aAnthropology. 610 $aFolklore. 610 $aGender Studies. 610 $aLinguistics. 610 $aWomen's Studies. 615 0$aMisogyny. 615 7$aPSYCHOLOGY 615 7$aHuman Sexuality 615 7$aGender & Ethnic Studies 615 7$aSocial Sciences 615 7$aGender Studies & Sexuality 676 $a305.42 700 $aGilmore$b David D.$0144225 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910807463003321 996 $aMisogyny$94125788 997 $aUNINA
