Description: FREE SHIPPING UK WIDE Chauvo-Feminism by Sam Mills 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. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description The 2017 #MeToo movement against sexual harassment and abuse felt like a flagship moment, a time at which women were empowered to share their stories in a spirit of empowerment and solidarity and demand change. But have some men simply changed tactics? The latest addition to The Indigo Presss Mood Indigo series sees Sam Mills, author of the acclaimed novel The Quiddity of Will Self ("ambitious and outrageous" Guardian), and recent literary memoir of caring, The Fragments of My Father ("brave and original" The Times) investigate the phenomenon of chauvo-feminism, where men present themselves as feminists publicly, in order to advance their careers, while privately exhibiting chauvinistic attitudes. Through testimony from women and men, as well as her own experiences with a chauvo-feminist, Mills explores the grey areas of modern relationships, gaslighting and emotional abuse, the psychological underpinnings of the chauvo-feminist, and asks how we might move beyond trial by Twitter to encourage an honest and productive dialogue between the sexes.
