Infos

Everybody knows a chauvo-feminist . . .The 2017 #MeToo movement was a flagship moment, a time which empowered women to share their stories of sexual harassment and abuse in a spirit of solidarity and in demand of change. But have some men simply changed tactics?Acclaimed author Sam Mills investigates the phenomenon of the chauvo-feminist, the man whose public feminism works to advance his career, whilst his private self exhibits age-old chauvinistic tactics. Through testimonies and her own experience, Mills examines the psychological underpinnings of the chauvo-feminist, exploring questions of modern relationships, consent, and emotional abuse and asks how we might move beyond 'trial by Twitter' to encourage an honest and productive dialogue between men and women.'We've all met That Guy. In this searching and provocative essay, Sam Mills neatly skewers the men who publicly spout feminism while treating women badly behind closed doors - and asks how we can move forward to a happier, more feminist future.' Samantha Ellis'Thought-provoking, on point and abreast of contemporary ideas about the chauvinism of women's everyday lives. A book for our times.' Monique Roffey, author of The Mermaid of Black Conch, winner of the 2020 Costa Prize for Fiction'In this lithe and luminous essay, Sam Mills explodes the hypocrisy of many men in the wake of the #MeToo movement . . . Clever, funny, gripping and beautifully written, Chauvo-Feminism is an exploration not just of the female experience, but of civilisation itself. This is a dazzling, essential book. Men with mutant politics: beware!' Emma Jane Unsworth, author of Animals
