Red Rattler Theatre, 6 Faversham Street, Marrickville, NSW

Despite the achievements of the women's movement over the past four decades, misogyny remains a persistent force in Western culture. In this important documentary, Thomas Keith, professor of philosophy at California State University-Long Beach, looks specifically at misogyny and sexism in mainstream western media, exploring how negative definitions of femininity and hateful attitudes toward women get constructed and perpetuated at the very heart of popular culture.

The screening will be introduced by the Sydney Feminists and followed by a 10 minute presentation.  There will then be an open audience discussion and a Q&A.
