Even though the cultural examples that she uses are of an era that has passed the theory and its application are more applicable today than when she wrote it. She has been able to highlight the cultural aspects of gender relations much like Gangstad and Wilson have done through their work on the evolutionary drivers of gender relations, both showing the same thing but from different angles.

It’s a hard hitting book with some astute observations, which is why I gave it 3 stars, however if you’re a guy and you’ve been stuck on the receiving end of this kind of treatment, there’s books you could read, I’d rather recommend, like Robert Glover: No More Mr Nice Guy, James Altucher, Azula Altucher: The Power of No; and/or if you still kind of want to attract a woman again: Mark Manson’s Models. These could help pull you out of your own resentment, regret and righteous indignation and into your own life instead of, I don’t know, bitterly wallowing in negativity and righteous rage, arguing with other bitter, angry people in front of your PC.
This book is (much like the Red Pill/Blue Pill/MGTOW trip) as, if not more toxic than the feminism, crybully political correctness/ negative, painful experiences with women that lead us here.
This book can make you a bit smarter, like the Coded/Decoded section, which is what I was looking for, but I can mostly see it either justifying wasting more years in frustration and anger and attracting more of it, or even justifying the ugliest, narcissistic PUA behaviour
I’ve spent enough time in the problem, I’d rather seek solutions

I can see why feminist hate this book. Every guy should read this for an insight into the female psyche. Reading this book helped my sanity in a world gone mad with unacknowledged bias against men - the understanding of which is having so many men check-out of society. Brilliant and funny.

Well researched and well written. I read this after reading feminist literature to get a balanced perspective. Essential reading for anyone who wants to know more about modern men in a very aggressive feminist world.

Question: What is a man? Answer: A Slave
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 July 2018Verified Purchase
I found this book very fascinating to read as it is a real eye opener and what's surprising is how this book was written by a woman. To me, she was being honest as in confessing about the nature of women and how men are manipulated to believe their entire self-worth and identity of a man is defined by the opinions and standards of a woman and how they are exploited for what they provide and perform as a man in various ways. This reveals that men are not considered human beings but human doings as well as proving that men on average are noble but disposable. Many feminists and their minions the white knights and manginas would consider this book to be "misogynistic" because it does not suit the victim narrative they impose onto society. However the type of men she describes that are subjects to exploitation by women are those that place women on a pedestal, commonly referred to as "blue-pilled" within the manopshere but men that are woke after learning the truth about female nature would refer themselves as "red pilled" and thus, cannot be exploited so easily. Then again most men began their lives as blue pilled in this society which is gynocentric. This book can also serve as guide for men to be aware on how manipulative women can be and what it is to be a man. Highly recommended.

The title says it all. Read and weep or read and learn who the real sexual slaves are. Disposable men, entitled women. MGTOW will only gain momentum.

This book has a very curious writing style, and I find it difficult to understand initially, but by the end I had warmed to it. A bit of advice to other men- buy this book along with Men on Strike by Helen Smith and the Rational Male by Rollo Tomassi, and prepare to have your eyes opened. It's about time that men acknowledged that the cards are stacked against them, and books such as this will open your eyes to the truth.

(this is the subject of another excellent book "Men on Strike ")
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 July 2015Verified Purchase
Simply put - this is an eye-opening book. You may find some of the views over the top but it counteracts the dominant feminist doctrine that is everywhere and has been for many years.
It claims that men are slowly starting to wake up to how unfairly they are being treated and talks about marriage in particular. Marriage rates in the USA have been tracked and men are shunning it in huge numbers. Reasons probably include what happens if the relationship breaks down - access to children on the woman's terms, paying out for the children and the ex-wife for many years to come, loss of the home and all wrapped up in a legal system stacked massively in a woman's favour. (this is the subject of another excellent book "Men on Strike ").
The book is quite hard on women and portrays them as largely uncaring people who see men as their "workers ". The author claims that the reason women are stronger in relationships is that they never cared in the first place and that is why men take longer to get over break ups.
"Love " and romance is largely a myth and is the guise under which women operate to keep a man in check and earning to pay for all the rubbish that they "need ".
Make your own mind up but I guarantee you will start to examine life just a bit differently after reading this.. If you are a young man in particular and not yet married then I recommend you grab a copy fast!!
