Klappentext

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.
