I had become aware of and concerned in recent years about the number of friends and acquaintances who were being savagely victimized by the women in their lives. Premature deaths, extra-marital affairs (with tragic consequences for husbands and children), false allegations that destroyed lives, physical and mental abuse, excessive and uncontrolled spending that jeopardized families? finances, and humiliating and embarrassing incidents in public are just some of what I saw or was told about. In virtually all of these cases, the victims were God-fearing, family-loving and hard-working men?the individuals to whom this book is dedicated.

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

This book will enrage anyone who is able to judge the situation fairly and who is outraged by inequity and falsehood. For those of us who have sensed that all is not right with the portrayal and treatment of men in today's America, it offers documented evidence that our suspicions are right, and it offers us facts with which to beat back the conflagration of hatred against our fathers, sons and brothers by women who hate all men and distort the truth in order to portray decent males as monsters merely for the crime of being male.

He's right ... and wrong.

Reviewed in the United States on October 28, 2013

Verified Purchase

He is right and not wrong if you happen to accept his Christian views. I'm afraid in a multi-raciel, multi-ethnic, multi-ideological (we really don't have a culture) society. Many do. I don't. When Jehovah's Witnesses came to my door, the told me I should obey they Word of God. I asked where I would find that. They said in the Bible. I asked how do I know that is the world of God. They said it says so in the Bible. Unfortunately, feminists have rewirtten the eternal and immutable Word of God in the image of feminist ideology. Thanks to feminists, the Bible now babbles. What Hise writes about the rising power of women is true, but in this respect his book merely updates Lionel Tiger's (The Decline of Males) in this respect. Both writers should read Steven Goldberg's Why Men Rule and review the history of feminism, albeit not the revised feminist version. Better, like me, to have likved that history to know when feminists writers are "faking it" when they claim "women won" this or that. Hint: Why did a Republcan Congtress pass on woman suffrage when a very liberal president (Woodrow Wildon) was opposed to it? HInt: Men should recall Pogo's woe-be-gone plaint: "We has seen the enemy and the enemy is us."

Strong on Facts and Figures

While 'The Myth of Male Power', which I haven't read yet, is probably a better book, this one makes some good points, among which:

-Warm, fuzzy, sensitive, new age, feminized fathers are like deserting fathers.

-Is it fair for a man who is the sole bread-winner for his family to be unemployed while married women who are only the second income producer in the household are given preferential treatment?

-The federal government spends four times as much on breast cancer research as it spends on prostate cancer research, prostate cancer being a bigger killer.

-Ritalin is being prescribed for normal male exuberance.

-Courts, public schools and Child Protective Services are charging parents who refuse to put their sons on Ritalin with child abuse.

-Women are sometimes judged on quality of work, but not on quantity at the same time.

-Rape-shield laws that keep the sexual history of the alleged victim secret, but allow the defendant's past to be brought in; that protect the woman's identity, but not the alleged rapist's.

-The information is inadmissable that she has instigated other frivolous law-suits in the past, and is heavily in debt.

-The difference in sentences the sexes receive for the same crime (special treatment, not equality, being what is actually sought).

-Women in combat will endanger the men there.

-The dumbing-down of fitness requirements at military academies to favour women.

-Feminists want equal pay for unequal work.

-Men have no rights in the abortion decision, but should have.

-There is a strong Christian strand to the book, but at least there's something spiritual in it, seeing as the experience of that is a male thing (and we haven't made God up to oppress them with).

-Feminism an ideology or meme inextricably linked to atheism. (And the difficulty of pinning feminist argument down.)

-Feminism as Marxism. The intelligentsia (women) are going to oversee society's (men's) work. (And human nature is to be overcome.)

-Feminism holds that men and women are the same, and that change for its own sake is good.

-Any time a woman commits a crime, a man must have made her do it.

-Women have very little idea about, or interest in, where money comes from; but they have a lot of ideas about how it should be spent.

-Financial independence of women results in increased lesbianism.

-Feminists are cozying up to minorities that have less respect for women than white men do.

-Feminists say that all-male clubs are bad, but all-female clubs are good.

-Advice on how to protect yourself from promotion-taking sexual harassment suits (a woman accusing her way to the top).

-The book has a militant tone, but sadly that's what is called for. The time to chivalrously indulge this (criminally insane) childishness is past.

-The negative reviews of this book don't know how to use the English language properly.

-------------------------------

General notes on feminism:

-"We're gonna keep up the fight until the violence stops".

The man-haters've hit on a something they know the vast-majority of decent men can't do anything about. (And what about wives who beat husbands- invent a syndrome like neglected wife syndrome or something so it's OK.)

-"Consensual heterosexual sex is an act of violence committed by the man against the woman".

How far are you gonna get in a world without men, baby?

-"A world run by women would be a world without war".

Well, they don't know themselves, do they.

-Is the idea that women need to become more like men feminist or misogynist?

The Old Philosopher

Recognize the enemy, and start fighting back

Reviewed in the United States on July 14, 2005

I was a little disappointed in Hies's book. To his credit he does a pretty good job of summarizing many of the ways that modern western society is badly discriminatory against men and has been getting much worse over the past few decades. For example, among his many criticisms of women's rights for abortions he points out that the child who's future is being decides also has a father, and fathers have no rights and less consideration in today's debate over "a woman's right to choose." Hies effectively summarizes discrimination against men at work, in government, in schools, in law, in the military, in health care, in families, in the media and in just about every part of society today. His summaries often take the immediately apparent or widely published discrimination and fail to look a little deeper. For example he explains how Title IX enforcement has badly hurt college athletics, but fails to point out that Title IX is about education, not athletics, and if adequately enforced, would prohibit pervasive discrimination against men throughout the rest of college campuses. Hise criticizes Janet Reno for the DOJ strong arm tactics in the Elian Gonzoles case, but fails to notice that Reno's tactics were supporting a father's rights to HIS son. So in this report, Hise sloppily supports the war against fathers. Hise criticizes Christian denominations for allowing themselves to be taken over by women, and points out that many Christian denominations which have been taken over by women are rapidly losing members. But although he reports that many corporations are promoting women of questionable qualifications to their upper management, he fails to mention that many of those same major corporations with female management are losing money and market share. As a highly knowledgeable reader I notice the omissions and inaccuracies, but for someone who is coming into awareness these omissions are minor compared to the wide ranging information in the book.

I was most disappointed in the Christian bias of the book. Hise seems to assume that "men" is synonymous with "Christian," despite his own data which shows that 80% of attendance and the large majority of administration of Christian churches is now female. Men have never been the majority of attendees in Christian religion even when men once dominated it's administration. Now it's pretty obvious from Hise's own data that men have left the Christian churches in huge numbers. If he's trying to play to a Christian audience in the US, that means playing to an 80% female audience, according to his data. What about us men? What about the majority of us men, who now are not Christian? The War Against MEN is being fought against us too. We find most Christian churches as female dominated as schools and government, as Hise himself reports. I would have been far more favorably impressed with Hise's book if he leaned a little less on equating men with Christian.

One part of the book that is very good, and pretty unique, are the chapters on personal and political counter attack strategies. While his suggested strategies are a little milquetoast to the more radical men's rights activists, they do give many men some real ways to begin to reclaim our manhood and work toward equal justice under law. It's good advice, and it's a place to start. The book is worth while for those chapters alone. Get a pre-nup before considering marriage, avoid the NY Times and LA Times for accurate news, start voting carefully in local elections. All of these and more are things men can do right now to begin the reclaiming of our lives and families.

The author touched on THE most important political issue of our day NOT talked about from an academic perspective. There was little emotion or outrage over the many facts presented. Hopefully, reading this book will lead to reading others on this most important subject.
