Summary:
"Argues that misogyny has increased in the United States under President Trump and that, although women's experiences under misogyny are by no means universal, patriarchal social and institutional systems facilitate gender-based hatred and hostility. ... This book explores misogyny across media ranging from political and editorial cartoons to news, sports, film, television, social media (especially Twitter), and journalistic organizations that address gender inequities. Contributors argue that the current era of conservative populism ushered in by President Donald Trump and the Republican party constitute the sociocultural and political environment that has given rise to the #MeToo movement and Fourth Wave Feminism."-- Back cover.
