Legalizing Misandry: From Public Shame to Systemic Discrimination against Men Hardcover – 5 April 2006

English edition by Paul Nathanson (Autor), Katherine K. Young (Autor)

See all formats and editions
Paul Nathanson and Katherine Young believe that this reveals a shift in the United States and Canada to a worldview based on ideological feminism, which presents all issues from the point of view of women and, in the process, explicitly or implicitly attacks men as a class. They argue that ideological feminism is silently reshaping law, public policy, education, and journalism.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Essential reading for those concerned with men's rights in an era of feminism
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 March 2014
    Verified Purchase
    This is volume 2 in a projected 5 volume project examining the impact on men of feminism via its close correlate, misandry. Whilst there have been a number of "popular" level books addressing this subject in a lighter manner, this project is a far weightier undertaking. Even considering this volume alone it is an impressively comprehensively researched endeavour. The whole five volumes, when the last two are published, promises to be a truly stupendous piece of genuine scholarship. Young and Nathanson are to be congratulated both on maintaining their energy over the very protracted period of time necessary to accomplish it, and also in braving what I suspect must be overwhelming academic disapprobation.

    Whilst at the Big Picture level most of the topics will be familiar to students of men's rights, the treatment is enhanced here by extensive and detailed reviews of other writings on the topic, from both sides of the debate. The tone is slightly uneven in parts, sometimes exhibiting sinew-stretching efforts of will to present issues with rigorous objectivity, whilst at other times giving way a little to polemic in understandable frustration. There will be material here which even the most ardent men's rights activists will not have come across previously. For me the position of feminism within the postmodernist culture now prevailing within much of the non-scientific disciplines in our universities was completely new. Postmodernism's concomitant denial of absolute Truth does much to explain one's common experience that feminists are impervious to rational persuasion based on factual evidence. An origin in the denial of absolute Truth also makes the phenomenon of feminist driven misandry that much more chilling. (It says a great deal that the spell checker on this site keeps telling me that the word "misandry" does not exist).

    Strongly recommended, but do not expect a light read.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Misandry Courageously Discussed by Scholars
    Reviewed in the United States on 24 June 2006
    Verified Purchase
    Following on their study of the systematic hatred of men (misandry) in the popular media--SPREADING MISANDRY--two Canadian scholars present in this volume the second of a trilogy on the topic. The third will discuss misandry as it is being proselytized in college and university classrooms. They have no need for shocking journalistic revelations and rhetoric, but rely instead on sober, close examination of court decisions that have slowly but surely changed the way men are treated under the law in Canada and the United States. The authors show how interest groups, lobbying and media pressure have leveraged a sea change in the treatment of men, especially as husbands and fathers. Their position is ethical. The focus of their examination is ideological feminism's effect on the framing of legal sanctions by our nation's courts that are stacked against men. As a result of the influence of ideological feminism, certain topics may not be discussed in academe, the media will always support its agenda, and increasingly in the home, husbands and fathers are identified as dangerous and evil. Demonizing men in this way is the work of misandry. Its sources are complex, but they rest solidly in ideological feminism. The authors' plea is for reasoned consideration of misandry and exposure of its motives. After reading this book, no one can fail to admit that we have reached a point where it is increasingly thought to be a shame to have been born male in North America. And we cannot forget that what is promoted here soon sends out spores to settle and grow elsewhere in the world. For now, this reader is grateful to the authors of this volume in the series of their studies for their courage in offering a point of view that those who are in academe know quite well MAY NOT be brought up in committee and faculty meetings and, soon, in all classrooms.

    My worry is above all for boys, the sons and students of men who are portrayed as evil, not only in the popular media but also increasingly in the eyes of the law. That boys are leaving school should not surprise us at all. That fathers are leaving their sons is also no less unpredictable in such a climate. Scholars of divorce may find a fuller understanding of their topic by reading this volume of Nathanson and Young's trilogy.

    It must be made clear that this is NOT an exercise in victim studies. Nor do the authors call for a counter-revolution to the positive feminism that brought women into the workplace and politics. They make no declarations. Instead they present evidence and examine arguments.

    This is an important work in ethics, gender studies, and history. It deserves wide readership, media exposure, and discussion in academe.

    5.0 out of 5 stars So Good - It is being Actively Censored by Radical Gender Feminist Misandrists
    Reviewed in the United States on 7 November 2007
    Verified Purchase
    Misandry, the Hatred of Men, Masculinity and Normal Heterosexuality, is so ingrained in our government, media & the pathetic farce that passes itself as the social engineering field of Adacementia - that it resembles flouride in the water supply.

    I live in Alameda County CA (across the bay from Frisco) and the Alameda Library system not only refused to purchase and display this book - but doesn't even have a Subject Category in their Catalog for MISANDRY. This appears to be a pattern amongst libraries and similar institutions - which want to Deny even the Very Existence of Misandry, let alone censor books exposing its nature such as this.

    In fact - the Most Moral Womyn in all Idaho (Susan K Christensen - Deputy Attorney General and Head of the Idaho Bar Moral Character & Fitness committee)is on Record as stating that "Misandry is Not a Real Word that you can look up in Websters Dictionary" - despite the fact that it is easily found in the copy of Websters in the Idaho Bar Headquarters Lobby. She has punished applicants for Law Licenses in Idaho who dare to disagree with her Misandrist Lies - saying that those who assert Misandry is a Real Word are "Dishonest"

    Hence - This book is subject to a serious Censorship Campaign, designed to keep its very existence a secret, because it is so hated by Male Bashing Radical Gender Feminist Bigots - like other books exposing this campaign of hatred by Tammy Bruce (Death of Right & Wrong), Lively and Abrams (the Pink Swastika),Heterophobia (Patai) and others...

    This book is an outstanding, albeit incomplete effort, which for all its political incorrectness still pulls many punches in an effort to appease the academic crowd. For example - it never uses the term "DYKE" - despite the authors having extensive invformation about Misandrist "Dyke Marches" across Weimar America banning male citizens from the streets.

    Like its predecessor "Spreading Misandry" (which for example failed to include TV / Movies making "humorous' jokes about Homo-Anal Rape, such as Seinfeld on SNL) - this book could have benefitted from more widespread review by Men's Rights Advocates prior to publishing - which could have provided more relevant material than the authors included.

    Still - as one of the Only Books Available to Deal Directly with the subject of Misandry - this is a Grand Slam, and a challenge to future authors to meet or exceed this new Gold Standard in the Field.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Spreading Misandry
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 August 2009
    Verified Purchase
    This is an important book that addresses one of the key issues of our time, the spreading of misandry (the hatred of men) through popular culture. The book is beautifully written and very readable, bearing in mind its academic origins and the the research orientation of the authors. Although it is drawn from North American experience it is entirely relevent to UK and no doubt Anzac experience.

    It spells out, through meticulous research and analysis, how the media including print media, though particularly film and TV, characterise men in the most negative terms. For example, in made for TV films, the men are usually weak, violent, stupid dishonest, and/or abusive while the women are caring ,bright, long suffering etc.. The book draws our attention to the way that this is buried (shallow grave) in so much that we watch and read that its' subliminal message is now embedded in society and shapes our expectations of men. It seems that commissioning editors wouldn,t have it any other way.

    If you think it doesn't apply to the UK check out our most popular soaps and made for TV drama. This book and it's recent sequel are a must read if you care about the future of men, be they brothers, lovers, fathers or friends.
