Judith Butler confronts one of the most pressing issues of our time: so-called "gender ideology" - and its supposed dangers. Global networks spread the idea that "gender" is a dangerous, if not diabolical, ideology threatening to destroy families, local cultures, civilizations - and even "man" himself. Butler examines how "gender" became a convenient catch-all boogeyman for myriad overlapping, and often contradicting, anxieties. Butler powerfully demonstrates how the fears surrounding "gender" are not only misguided and uninformed, but also sow the seeds for authoritarian control and the erosion of public discourse.
