This exceptional collection of essays explores the persistence of misogyny: how it is woven into the fabric of our culture, our institutions, and our psyches. Building on her first book, Misogyny in Psychoanalysis, Michaela Chamberlain moves on from a conversation to a demand for action. Drawing on her experiences as a psychotherapist, mother, and researcher, she uses psychoanalytic theory to examine what causes misogyny and how misogyny is internalised, enacted, and justified. Revisiting Freuds case of Dora and Winnicotts concept of the "good enough mother", she explores how these foundational psychoanalytic ideas continue to echo in contemporary expectations placed on women - particularly around sexuality, care, and emotional labour. These essays bridge past and present, theory and lived experience, to ask what has really changed and include a much-needed update to Winnicotts list of reasons why a mother hates her baby. From online discussion forums to classical literature, from consulting room dynamics to cultural narratives, Chamberlain investigates how misogyny hides in plain sight, often disguised as common sense, tradition, or even progressive thinking. Her work questions who benefits from patriarchy, who is harmed, and how all of us - regardless of gender - are shaped by its assumptions. Accessible yet deeply informed, On Resisting Women invites readers into a debate about how we think, how we feel, and how we might begin to loosen misogynys grip - not only on our systems, but on our inner worlds.

Why do we feel a genuine pang of guilt when we make an evil choice in a video game, even though we know it is just code and pixels? How Games Hack Our Morals dives deep into the psychological architecture of virtual worlds. We examine how game designers use ethical dilemmas to create emotional resonance and how these digital experiences influence our real-world moral compass. It is an analysis of the game played with our conscience.We investigate the neurobiological reactions to moral gray areas in interactive media. Learn how empathy is artificially generated and why the boundaries between avatar and identity often blur in the heat of play. This book offers a technical understanding of emotional manipulation through mechanics and narrative. We deconstruct the patterns of player guidance and show how virtual consequences can create a psychological burden that extends far beyond the screen. It is the forensic study of the digital soul.Become the architect of your own perception. We show you how to integrate the principles of ethics, gaming into your life to achieve a sovereignty that others only admire from afar. It is about returning to causality in a world of symptoms. Understand the mechanics behind your digital decisions and what they reveal about your true self. Knowledge of these hacking methods is the first step toward mental freedom in the game and in life. Become the master of your morals. The game is more real than you think.
