Overview

Janice Fiamengo was once a true believer, completing a PhD with specialization in feminist literature and theory. Her reading as a university student convinced her that women had been unjustly oppressed for centuries, and that empowered women would lead their societies into a better future. Then she confronted the reality of female rage, false claims, the denial of merit, shattered families, and heartbroken fathers. She saw young men blatantly discriminated against in academic hiring. She came to see that feminism is a false god that leads women to hate by telling them that they are victims. She has spent the past decade alerting men and women to its dangers. In these richly-supported chapters, Fiamengo shows why feminism has nothing to do with gender equality. It is a radical ideology that seeks sexual license, unearned economic privileges, and freedom from adult accountability for women. It enforces economic servitude, shame, and legal disempowerment for men. It impugns male goodness while excusing female wrongdoing; even worse, it encourages women to be their worst selves while telling men that they can never be good enough. Feminism thus destroys the very thing it claims to seek: true reciprocity between the sexes.

Reviews

Professor Janice Fiamengo has been tormented more by activists for expressing her views than anyone else I ever met. She was Professor of English Literature at the University of Ottawa, and she was deep into Women's Studies for a long period of time and then learned that it was fraudulent from top to bottom. She has been making videos and going around campuses ever since, to quite vicious opposition. But she is a tough cookie, man. -Jordan Peterson, author of 12 Rules for Life and We Who Wrestle with God Thank the heavens for Janice Fiamengo! No one is better at revealing and skewering the incoherence and double standards of modern feminism, at whose feet can be laid much of our civilizational decay. -Bruce Pardy, Professor of Law, Queen's University Janice Fiamengo. The audacity of this woman bowls me over. Her writing is always erudite and unflinching, her scholarship unassailable, her reasoning fresh and formidable. What a warrior to have on our side, exposing the toll of feminism on our men, our relationships, and our civilization. -Bettina Arndt, Social commentator and men's issues advocate If you've ever heard claims about women's rights or feminism and thought, this doesn't sound right, but didn't quite know how to refute them, this book does it for you. Fiamengo goes through it all with depth and precision, exposing the arguments at their core and showing exactly where they fail. What sets this book apart, though, is not only its rigor, but its laugh-aloud wit and its recovery of something that has been lost. We are reminded that relations between men and women were not always framed as conflict. There was once care, loyalty, and a genuine regard for one another. This is a necessary book, a step toward setting things right and a reminder, a hope, that we may yet get there again. -Dr. Hannah Spier, Psychiatrist, host of Psychobabble
