À propos de cet audio
American society has become anti-male. Men are sensing the backlash and are responding. They're dropping out of college, leaving the workforce, and avoiding marriage and fatherhood at alarming rates. The trend is so pronounced that a number of books have been written about this man-child phenomenon, concluding that men have taken a vacation from responsibility. But why should men participate in a system that seems to be increasingly stacked against them?
As Men on Strike demonstrates, men aren't dropping out because they are stuck in arrested development; they are acting rationally in response to the lack of incentives society offers them to be responsible fathers, husbands, and providers. In addition, men are going on strike, either consciously or unconsciously, because they do not want to be injured by the myriad of laws, attitudes, and hostility against them for the crime of happening to be male in the 21st century. Men are starting to fight back. Men on Strike explains their battle cry.

What keeps this from being a 5-star review is the ideological bias. She mentions frequently that she is conservative and writes for a conservative website, which is fine, but then says things like "Liberals would have you believe..." when describing some ignorant opinion about men. And sure, it's true that most feminists are liberal, but most racists are conservative. Would it be appropriate to say "Conservatives would have you believe..." and throwing out some racist opinion? It adds nothing to the discussion and pushes away potential allies. Being concerned about the plight of men isn't the realm of one ideology, everybody should be involved and nobody should be made to think that the fight for true gender equality is actually a fight AGAINST them because they vote or think a certain way. Some authors just can't help but throw in a jab at their perceived opponents whenever they get the chance but it really doesn't do the book any favors or further her arguments. It casts her arguments in a bad light and made me start to notice parallels between these rational arguments and the ramblings of far-right commentators, incel ideology and the Tucker Carlson/Jordan Peterson crowd. Most of her points would still be completely valid without subtly demonizing her political opponents and scaring away potential allies. Christina Hof-Summer does none of this in The War Against Boys and it ends up being a much better book.
