Ever since Anita Hill came forward to tell the world about Clarence Thomas, women have followed her into the spotlight to protest that men "just don't get it." And with more than a little justification: for their own good, men need to understand feminist issues.
The purpose of this book is to answer that criticism by helping men "get it."
What Every Man Should Know About Feminist Issues is organized to systematically inform men about gender-issues and respond to them in a convenient handbook format: what do you say when someone says women need employment priority because their sexist, male-dominated employers pay women only 69 cents for every dollar men earn? What are the facts? This book gives you those facts.
Referring to feminist sources whenever possible, this book covers several gender issues, providing insights and information that will help you understand real feminism.
Much of what is taken for feminism these days is not true feminism, but anti-male media hype. Pop feminism.
Pop feminist propaganda is a lot like a cake, full of empty calories and coated with a layer of frosting, thick and sweet. The campaign against men is just that -- social deconstructionism coated with saucy surveys and sweet statistics reflecting a small bit of the human experience pop feminists use to promote the absurd ideas to women, politicians and judges that all men are potential rapists, all men are violent and abuse women, and "men are pigs and deserve to die."
It is hard to measure what suffering they have caused. But the time has come for men to understand the real issues. In response, I offer this book to you.
Good Luck. Rod Van Mechelen, Bellevue, Washington, 1992
