Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Sifting through American culture for latent signs of man-hating, or "misandry," Levine shows wit and erudition but fails to strike a mother lode.

From Library Journal
This post-feminist treatise discusses gender stereotypes and the reasons why man-hating exists in our culture. According to Levine, women hate their lovers, fathers, and even sons--although not without ambivalence. Ambivalence is the crux of the underlying relationship problem. Levine illustrates her salient points by drawing information from a variety of current sources: television programs, radio, popular magazine articles, and art. Her sure-to-be-controversial work addresses the problems of men as defined by the women around them. The final third of the book examines specific women and their conflicts. The book ends with a section on negotiation. Recommended for academic collections in women's studies.

Justification for man hating women.,
This review is from: My Enemy My Love (Hardcover)
The author supports her theory that virtually all women hate men. She does not, however, condemn their misandry, but rather justifies their prejudice. Intellectually it has promise, but morally the justification of sexist prejudice is quesionable.
