- Synopsis
- TODAY ONE GREAT DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MEN AND WOMEN IS THAT WOMEN AT LEAST KNOW THEY ARE OPPRESSED. Men have heard for as long as they can remember that it is a "man's world" and that they are the privileged sex. What they often discover too late is that their "privileges" include the right to live lives of mounting frustration, weariness and loneliness, and to die earlier than their female counterparts. For American men are raised by parents, conditioned by society, and often encouraged by women to play a role of lover-husband-parent-breadwinner-strong-and-silent-man whose impossible demands psychically cripple and eventually physically kill them. If you are a man, you will instantly recognize yourself and the dangers that threaten you when you read this book. If you are a woman who loves a man, you will want both him and yourself to read it.
