Kate Manne (born 1983) is an Australian philosopher of the Contemporary era, associated with Analytic Philosophy and Feminism.
Kate Manne is an Australian moral philosopher, associate professor at Cornell University, whose work has reshaped contemporary feminist analytic philosophy of misogyny and patriarchy. Down Girl: The Logic of Misogyny distinguished sexism, the cognitive ideology that makes women out to be inferior, from misogyny, the system of policing and punishment that enforces patriarchal expectations on women, and showed how the two work together in contemporary public life. Entitled and Unshrinking have extended her analyses to entitled male privilege and to fatphobia as a form of moral injury, and have made her one of the most widely read public philosophers of her generation.
