Philosophy professor Christina Sommers has exposed a disturbing development: how a group of zealots, claiming to speak for all women, are promoting a dangerous new agenda that threatens our most cherished ideals and sets women against men in all spheres of life. In case after case, Sommers shows how these extremists have propped up their arguments with highly questionable but well-funded research, presenting inflammatory and often inaccurate information and stifling any semblance of free and open scrutiny. Trumpeted as orthodoxy, the resulting "findings" on everything from rape to domestic abuse to economic bias to the supposed crisis in girls' self-esteem perpetuate a view of women as victims of the "patriarchy". Moreover, these arguments and the supposed facts on which they are based have had enormous influence beyond the academy, where they have shaken the foundations of our educational, scientific, and legal institutions and have fostered resentment and alienation in our private lives. Despite its current dominance, Sommers maintains, such a breed of feminism is at odds with the real aspirations and values of most American women and undermines the cause of true equality. Who Stole Feminism? is a call to arms that will enrage or inspire, but cannot be ignored.

Christopher S.

Excellent review of how feminism has changed

May 1, 2017

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

A really insightful look into how (what was once) "radical" feminism has taken over the mainstream. Things have only gotten more muddied since this was written, but the book covers what seems to be a crucial transition: from the historical feminism we teach our children, centered on equality of opportunity and individual liberty for women, to the current feminism, centered around nebulous theories of privilege, socialization, and microagressions. Sommers documents some startling ways in which feminist leaders and media have purposefully twisted statistics to not only exaggerate, but outright lie, about the current status of everything from girls' self esteem to the prevalence of rape and domestic abuse. Sommers gives this scathing review of the establishment while remaining a feminist loyal to "equity" feminism, and this is a must read for anyone at all interested in gender politics and how feminism became what it is today.

20 Years On And Still Valid

June 7, 2013

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I was introduced to this book through academic research. Prof Sommers needs to be congratulated that here work has stood both the tests of time and scrutiny by those who would tear it down. She amply illustrates the shoddy behaviours of people such as Wolf and Steinem who can't be bothered to do basic fact checking. 150,000 US women die per year from Anorexia? Steinem even used the claim after Wolf had removed it from her work. That's is just plain lazy. Even worse, Steinem's book was recently republished after 20 years and the same error is in the book uncorrected.

Prof Sommers illuminates Woozle after Woozle (Google The Woozle Effect) and slays them as the sacred cows that they are. From false but HIGHLY emotive claims about Domestic Abuse/Violence, Rape, Anorexia. It leaves you with an impression that there is a segment of the US population who are seen as Gullible in the extreme and open to control by false reporting.

The dismantling of claims around Rape Culture, (Chapter 10), and how Ms Magazine (Read Steinem + Mary Koss) created a reality they wanted and then propagandized is so significant. It also resonates with the present day situation in US Academic Venues where people accused of rape have lost the basic right to a Fair and Valid Trial and even the Presumption of Innocence. The issues of gender stereotyping and abuse on Campus go on and on with litigation averse administrations made malleable to false truths. When you read Sommers work and then see what has happened over the following 20 years it leaves you bemused as to how it has been possible.

I would very much like to see this book updated and revised to address the last 20 years.

A book and author deserving of the highest praise Well documented and thourough.

November 17, 2014

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Dramatically revealing book by a top notch mind exposing the hypocrisies and lies upon which the ideology of feminism is based.

In this book, Dr. Sommers, a woman, is allowed a forum with both breadth and depth that men are not allowed. Dr. Sommers has become a spokeswoman for men and their issues that are not allowed free and open discussion in major media or in our universities. Feminism has been given the only voice, a monologue in what should be a dialogue. Dr. Sommers opens the dialogue. Being a woman she is allowed the forum men are denied.

Dr. Sommers, a former radical feminist, had her epiphany moment with the birth of a beautiful baby boy. The resultant discrimination against that innocent babe merely because of gender has made Dr. Sommers a reluctant but highly intelligent and motivated anti-feminist. Dr. Sommers still claims to be a feminist, yet skewers feminist myths, lies, violence and frauds as if she were the most truly victimized, impoverished, and disenfranchised activist MRA.

I am openly respectful of someone whose intelligence can overcome an ideology of vitriolic hatred against one half of our population, men, and speak publically on topics which few will allow men to discuss. Not only has she overcome the blind bigotry, she has become a major voice for men who have lost children, homes, family, career, liberty, and even lives in the very tragic and lopsided war against men.

A MUST-READ FOR MILLENIALS!! This book opens your mind to the real-world problems we need to solve and why they're STILL problems after all this "progress." This is about the day-to-day, brass-tacks of womanhood. REAL women, not the livid men-haters but your reasonable, every-day sort of girl.
