And yet the book may be underestimated and overlooked due to a paradoxical combination of its contrarian perspective and the natural-seeming nature of its arguments and conclusions. The Russian-born journalist painstakingly documents and then demolishes shibboleth after feminist shibboleth. It is violence against MEN which is treated more callously by society. Women claim they are equal to men, often denying even obvious biological differences, and yet they simultaneously imply or even state openly that their sex is the morally superior one.
Women claim to be physical equals of men, except in the sphere of domestic violence.
Mothers complain that they want their husbands to be more involved in child care, but they do not want them too much more involved. Young reminds us that feminist tendencies harm women as well as men. Placing nearly all blame for all societal problems on men encourages women to avoid taking responsibility and becoming truly equal partners of men. A man can be railroaded in a domestic violence case even where the woman implores the authorities to drop all charges. She demolishes the so-called thinking behind modern court interpretations of Title 9, the federal law whose recent interpretations have forced the dismantling of men's university sports programs in pursuit of a false equality.
