"Sons of Feminism" is the sister book to "Daughters of Feminism," edited by David Shackleton. Feminist leaders tell us that men are entitled and powerful. Janice Fiamengo actually asked men what it is like to be male in a feminist culture--and they responded. These 25 stories may surprise you with their accounts of men belittled, disliked, dismissed, blamed, falsely accused, and discriminated against under law—all while being expected to apologize for their “male privilege.” The volume includes a substantial introduction by the editor, Janice Fiamengo, and an Appendix of Recommended Reading.

Tip of the iceberg.

It’s a terrible thing to be silenced. It’s even worse to be so at the hands of an organized and tyrannical group driven by self interest; and worse yet to live in a social structure that wantonly promotes it into a socially acceptable norm. I’ve learned a great deal of how vile human nature can be via feminist. This book gives a glance into the realities that men face as a consequence of the feminist agenda.
Thanks Janice for having the integrity, endurance and courage to publicly challenge this seemingly impenetrable movement. Thank you for making a place for the predominate disposable victims of sexism to have a place to describe their real world experiences about the actual nature of feminist ideology.
A refreshing read.

Book Review of Sons of Feminism
Submitted By Walking Eagle
Sons of Feminism: Men Have Their Say, edited by Janice Fiamengo, is an engrossing read for men of the Baby Boom generation, like myself, who have had to endure 40 years of feminist culture and criticism.
In her Introduction to 307 pages of highly personal accounts of how the feminist dogma has affected men, Dr. Fiamengo declares: “This book is an attempt to repay a debt of gratitude to men.” Except for my mother’s generation, I’ve never heard a woman even acknowledge the male contributions to our world.
Fiamengo understood that the effects of feminism on two or three generations of men would never be told without a woman’s intervention and advocacy; complaining about one’s condition, quarrelling with women or indulging in self-pity are repugnant to instinctual male stoicism.
In one sense, Sons is a very deliberate exercise in free speech. Alarmed about the Orwellian specter of feminism’s group think overshadowing the ancient tradition of academic analytical inquiry, Fiamengo stepped up to the plate as a free speech advocate at the University of Ottawa.
Despite the heavy-handed attempts by feminists to silence her, and the personal price she has paid over the years, Dr. Fiamengo has not missed a beat. Sons of Feminism: Men Have Their Say is a triumph over censorship in exposing the dark side of the feminist moon.
Reading the accounts of the male contributors, many of whom used a pen name or the by-line of “anonymous,” the book as a whole reveals the vindictive social tyranny imposed upon men as a retribution for their perceived “toxic masculinity,” “male privilege” and perpetuation of the “patriarchy.” In these stories, men have been criminalized at the word of a woman, falsely accused of sexual harassment, bypassed for work promotions, had their reputations ruined, been served with restraining orders for arguing with an ex-spouse, attempted suicide and denied fundamental due process by the judiciary.
One contributor wrote that he was supposed to feel guilty about enjoying solo sports because, for example, mountain climbing was characterized as an “exclusive act” which, therefore, amounted to “discrimination” against women. In borrowing a term from Shakespeare, he speculates that the “green-eyed monster” underlies feminist motives. Many women, the author believes, feel that men need to be “trained” and humiliated with shame or derisive comments to be “kept in their place.”
Romance is dead. Boys and men have been “trained” not to compliment a woman or flirt. Such conduct is trivialized by feminists as “romantic overtures”; an expression used to connote something dirty and needy.
There is a powerful scene in the Netflix series Breaking Bad that illustrates how men have been left behind by a culture now infused with feminism. Walter White has left his job as a high school chemistry teacher to “cook” and sell meth so that he can leave a lot of money to his family. A diagnosis of terminal cancer leaves him with only a few months to meet his goal. He doesn’t care about the risk of getting caught since he’s going to die soon. Walter’s arc begins as a noble quest. His motivation is to be a provider for his family regardless of the cost to himself. A local meth czar, Gus, manages to overcome Walter’s resistance to joining an industrial-scale drug operation by recruiting his prospect with an appeal to Walter’s sense of male responsibility:
GUS
“When you have children, you always have family. They will always be your priority. Your responsibility. And a man . . . ? A man provides. And he does it even when he’s not appreciated . . . or respected . . . or even loved. He simply bears up, and he does it. Because he’s a man.”
These words strike home. Walter is neither appreciated nor respected nor loved. His wife is having an affair while his son changes his name to disassociate himself from his father.
Walter, being of a certain generation of men, does “bear up” in spite of the cancer’s progression and the familial insult to his male dignity. He continues to be a provider. His desire for respect is eventually satisfied when he gains recognition as “Heisenberg” in the criminal underworld.
Sons of Feminism is a book about what happens to the male psyche when women become cruel and no longer respect men. The current generation of young men and those who follow will not be as self-sacrificing as Walter. Sadly, for those women who have not chugged the feminist Kool-Aid and want families, it may already be too late.

The Truths That Are Missing

Reviewed in the United States on June 8, 2018

Verified Purchase

Everyone seems to think that it's women who don't have a voice. But, in the realms of gender thought, gender theory, gender experience, gender protest, gender study, gender reality, and gender politics, there is feminism on the one hand and on the other hand there is nothing.

Men have stories too. But the pain inside of men is something that society does not want to look at or even to acknowledge the existence of. We are not comfortable with the realities of either female power or male vulnerability. And, for this reason exactly, it's high time that "Men Have Their Say." Because in the realms of gender, the truths of men are the truths that are missing.

Exactly what it claims to be.

Reviewed in the United States on December 12, 2018

Verified Purchase

This is a collection of essays and letters written by everyday men explaining their personal experiences with modern women and, especially, modern feminist ideals. These are the kinds of stories that are rarely spoken aloud for fear of backlash, and sometimes highlight the unforeseen consequences of an overzealous Social Justice mindset. Far from being whiney or ungrateful, these men more often feel betrayed, hurt or confused from common situations where they were immediately painted as violent or in the wrong and tried by public opinion. No matter what your ideology, no study of any subject, modern feminism included, should be considered complete without an attempt to understand the counterpoints, and this book makes a good starting point. Highly recommended.

Essential reading for perspectives from the opposite side of feminism

Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2019

Verified Purchase

Stimulating, heartbreaking stories of real men's experiences growing up under feminist rule in North America. I'd been watching Janice Fiamengo's You Tube video series for the last few years and even with that presumption about the material, each of the essays contained herein qualify as page-turners in their own right. For anyone who questions the goals of feminism even just a little bit, "Sons of Feminism" is an eye-opening, galvanizing read and provides a much needed educational tool that counters the classic feminist narrative that all women are victims. It indeed proves there's two sides to every story and no student of gender studies can be taken seriously unless it is included as mandatory in any curriculum.

I have read about every book that ever came out on men's liberation, and this one almost takes the prize for worst of the lot. The thinking is unoriginal, the topics disorganized, and the writing style of these haphazardly-organized essays is just atrocious. Read this book and at the end you will be dyslexic for at least a week.

A must-read book for anyone prepared to understand how feminism inevitably leads to male suffering

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 26, 2018

Verified Purchase

This is an essential book for anyone with an interest in gender politics, and the damage wrought by feminism and individual feminists in recent decades. Feminism has rarely been concerned with gender equality, it's objective for 150+ years has been to privilege women and girls ever more, regardless of the suffering of men, most women, and many children - especially boys - which inevitably results. Male suffering is the other side of the coin to female privileging. One small example. Why are boys disadvantaged by the education system? Because girls are advantaged. Why does the British state not protect male minors from Male Genital Mutilation, although it's been illegal since the passing of the Offences Against the Person Act 1861, being at least ABH, and almost certainly GBH? Because the state cares only about Female Genital Mutilation. Males are disposable, even male minors.

There can be no more fitting person to edit this book than Janice Fiamengo, Professor of English at the University of Ottawa. She's that rarest of academics - a publicly self-identifying anti-feminist - and she's held in the highest regard across the global men's rights movement. She gave a well-received talk at the second International Conference on Men's Issues, in London, in 2016, and will again be speaking at the fourth conference in the series, again in London, 20-22 July, 2018.

Many books which challenge and expose feminism and feminists contain statistics and reasoned arguments, which show every feminist claim and narrative to be demonstrably one or more of the following - a baseless conspiracy theory, fantasy, lie, delusion or myth. This book is different, and it's the very reason I can recommend it so highly. It's simply a series of stories of men whose lives have been scarred or at least deeply and negatively affected by feminism and/or feminists. There can be few readers who will not have personal experience of some of the issues described, or at least know men who have.

Now I shall order "Daughters of Feminism". I'm told it's very good.

An essential book for anyone who cares about the persecution of men by women. In this book you can read the deeper stories, read of the poisonous and deliberate destruction of men's lives conducted by malicious women, read how those women enlist society and the state to cannive in their evil, and read how society and the state don't care about the victimisation of men.

I have been listening to Janice Fiamengo for some time now via Youtube. This collection of essays of men's experiences and the pernicious effects of feminism on their lives, in their own words, make compelling reading. I never bought into feminism even when I was an art student in the mid to late 1970's when just about every other female studying fine art was a rampant admirer of Germaine Greer and walked around with a copy of Spare Rib tucked under their arm. These stories make for heartbreaking reading at times. For anyone who is disillusioned with the women's movement and who has concerns about the massive bias towards women and the many disadvantages facing boys and men these are a 'must read'.

An overdue examination of the unchecked, runaway feminism feedback loop and effects on mens lives

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 4, 2019

Verified Purchase

University English Prof Janice Fiamingo has gathered a deeply troubling collection of essays on the effects of the apparent unchecked runaway feedback loop of feminization and deeply feminist agendas gaining control, and devastating effects on men that now results. This process perhaps stemmed from a number of US universities since the 1970's and disseminated out as indoctrinated graduates progressed into the workplace. In the UK its increasingly noticeable the BBC largely ignores mens issues, but gloats extensively on any possible mens failings. Radio and TV news and current affairs are increasingly dominated by female presenters and production staff, often with a pretty clear agenda. Experts interviewed on a range of topics are now almost invariably female, including in physics, astronomy etc which were the last remaining places where men could shine brightly. Further, for example the very extensive time BBC Radio 4 in particular devoted to various allegations against Brett Kavanaugh. These are now largely accepted as mistaken or simply fabricated, but no revisit or redress was subsequently made by the BBC of these now widely disregarded allegations.
