I believe it is high time someone defends men. This is a subject that is politically incorrect. The press, our academic world,, the entertainment cabal and most of all the feminists do not get it. Men are men and women are women...thank God! As Venker points out women are not unequal but are different from men. The damage to our children, family units and both men and women is possibly irreparable. It is actually understated and more depth and detail needs to be published about feminism's negative impacts. I respect women as women and men as men. We will NEVER be the same.
Angry and apathetic is the phrase that that I often use to describe myself. I'm not violent nor do I disparage others but like many men, I have decided not to participte in marriage and fatherhood. In short, the risks are significantly higher than the rewards. This is the sentiment that Ms. Veneer accurately portrays in The War on Men. It's a quick and easy read but, in my opinion, addresses a critical issue that is destroying the fabric of our country and civilization; the family and, therefore, our children.
I loved this book. I bought it after it was recommended by Tom Leykis on his show "The Tom Leykis Show". I feel women should read this book, especially if they are raising boys. Don't let the title fool you, this is not a book about bashing women, if that crossed your mind.
This pamphlet is a distillation of uncomfortable wisdoms: uncomfortable because we passionately wish they were untrue. If they were untrue, we wouldn't have so much apologizing, undoing, and redoing ahead of us -- all disagreeable tasks.
Women have been taught so many falsehoods that happiness routinely escapes them...then they blame their miseries on men. Men have been accused by women of so much villainy that many have "embraced the role:" they've become exploiters and misogynists, whose faults are then attributed to an entire half of the human race. None of this was ever necessary.
The complementarity of which Miss Venker speaks is essential to our race. Yet the gender warriors have denied it since Betty Friedan, which is why a wholly unnecessary state of hostility has arisen between the sexes of Man.
My sole criticism of Miss Venker's little book is that what she describes isn't *merely* a "war on men;" it's a war on all of humanity, prosecuted by rage-filled ideologues, in the name of "women's liberation from patriarchal oppression."
This e-book's ideas are arguably valid, but not well-supported by its citations. They are not as original or as new as one might think. Her argument suffers from mediocre writing which should have been improved by editors. She might want to pick up a book from 1947, Modern Woman: The Lost Sex by Ferndinand Lundberg and Marynia Farnham, a prescient work that inveighs against the principles of feminist ideology.
I agree with almost every word in THE WAR ON MEN. So why my low rating? Because the majority of the book does not focus on men at all, but on women, and how they have been misled, hoodwinked and lied to by feminist. Yes, it is true that women have become less happy the more they have lived their lives in accordance with feminist principles. True that early feminism focused on unhappy women for whom traditional marriage did not work and spun them for the entire institution. But that is not why I bought this.
Yes, there are a few relevant passages. Particularly good is the obvious statement, lost on far too many women today, that men are perfectly happy with women’s empowerment, unless they disempower men in order to get it. But for a booklet that begins with a quote from Warren Farrell about men’s disposability, it is ironic that Suzanne Venker thereupon proceeds to demonstrate and add to exactly that.
