About This Book

The author offers a pointed critique of the modern feminist movement, challenging its central claim of systemic female oppression and arguing that social and legal practices confer privileges on women. He surveys historical background, analyzes the movement’s main doctrines, and critiques purported anti‑male rhetoric, appeals to chivalry, and narratives of injured innocence. The book catalogues what the author regards as lies and fallacies, explores psychological motives behind the movement, and indicts its tactics, including pressure on publishers and ad hominem strategies. Overall it aims to expose contradictions and inconsistencies in feminist arguments and to rebut commonly repeated claims.
