Book Loving to Survive

Download or read book Loving to Survive written by Dee L.R. Graham and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 1995-07-01 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A selection of insights into the relationship between men and women Have you wondered: Why women are more sympathetic than men toward O. J. Simpson? Why women were no more supportive of the Equal Rights Amendment than men? Why women are no more likely than men to support a female political candidate? Why women are no more likely than men to embrace feminism—a movement by, about, and for women? Why some women stay with men who abuse them? Loving to Survive addresses just these issues and poses a surprising answer. Likening women's situation to that of hostages, Dee L. R. Graham and her co- authors argue that women bond with men and adopt men's perspective in an effort to escape the threat of men's violence against them. Dee Graham's announcement, in 1991, of her research on male-female bonding was immediately followed by a national firestorm of media interest. Her startling and provocative conclusion was covered in dozens of national newspapers and heatedly debated. In Loving to Survive, Graham provides us with a complete account of her remarkable insights into relationships between men and women. In 1973, three women and one man were held hostage in one of the largest banks in Stockholm by two ex-convicts. These two men threatened their lives, but also showed them kindness. Over the course of the long ordeal, the hostages came to identify with their captors, developing an emotional bond with them. They began to perceive the police, their prospective liberators, as their enemies, and their captors as their friends, as a source of security. This seemingly bizarre reaction to captivity, in which the hostages and captors mutually bond to one another, has been documented in other cases as well, and has become widely known as Stockholm Syndrome. The authors of this book take this syndrome as their starting point to develop a new way of looking at male-female relationships. Loving to Survive considers men's violence against women as crucial to understanding women's current psychology. Men's violence creates ever-present, and therefore often unrecognized, terror in women. This terror is often experienced as a fear for any woman of rape by any man or as a fear of making any man angry. They propose that women's current psychology is actually a psychology of women under conditions of captivitythat is, under conditions of terror caused by male violence against women. Therefore, women's responses to men, and to male violence, resemble hostages' responses to captors. Loving to Survive explores women's bonding to men as it relates to men's violence against women. It proposes that, like hostages who work to placate their captors lest they kill them, women work to please men, and from this springs women's femininity. Femininity describes a set of behaviors that please men because they communicate a woman's acceptance of her subordinate status. Thus, feminine behaviors are, in essence, survival strategies. Like hostages who bond to their captors, women bond to men in an effort to survive. This is a book that will forever change the way we look at male-female relationships and women's lives.

Book Survive the Unthinkable

Download or read book Survive the Unthinkable written by Tim Larkin and published by Rodale. This book was released on 2013-08-20 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Approximately 1.9 million women are physically assaulted annually in the United States alone. In Survive the Unthinkable, Tim Larkin empowers women to understand that surviving a potential attack isn’t about being physically bigger, faster, or stronger; it’s about knowing how to self-protect, not self-defend. Survive the Unthinkable reveals the effective, proven principles behind Target Focus Training, the system Larkin has used to train Navy SEALs, celebrities, and soccer moms. It’s a counter-intuitive mind / body approach women can use to protect themselves and their loved ones. Readers learn how to identify the difference between social aggression (which can be avoided) and asocial violence (which is unavoidable), recognize personal behaviors that may jeopardize safety, and target highly specific areas on an attacker’s body for a strategic counterattack. Larkin discusses how predators think and teaches women how to spot them, outsmart them, and stop them in their tracks. With principles proven to work regardless of size, strength, or athleticism, Larkin’s approach revolutionizes women’s perspective on violence and self-protection. Armed with the tools to neutralize any threat, readers will blast through the victim mindset and live freer, safer, more peaceful lives.

In Wilderness Skills for Women, rising author/speaker Marian Jordan sees the same thing happening today as she and her friends still find themselves going through periods of isolation, temptation, sorrow, and waiting.

Book Men Who Hate Women

Download or read book Men Who Hate Women written by Laura Bates and published by Sourcebooks, Inc.. This book was released on 2021-03-02 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first comprehensive undercover look at the terrorist movement no one is talking about. Men Who Hate Women examines the rise of secretive extremist communities who despise women and traces the roots of misogyny across a complex spider web of groups. It includes eye-opening interviews with former members of these communities, the academics studying this movement, and the men fighting back. Women's rights activist Laura Bates wrote this book as someone who has been the target of many hate-fueled misogynistic attacks online. At first, the vitriol seemed to be the work of a small handful of individual men... but over time, the volume and consistency of the attacks hinted at something bigger and more ominous. As Bates went undercover into the corners of the internet, she found an unseen, organized movement of thousands of anonymous men wishing violence (and worse) upon women. In the book, Bates explores: Extreme communities like incels, pick-up artists, MGTOW, Men's Rights Activists and more The hateful, toxic rhetoric used by these groups How this movement connects to other extremist movements like white supremacy How young boys are targeted and slowly drawn in Where this ideology shows up in our everyday lives in mainstream media, our playgrounds, and our government By turns fascinating and horrifying, Men Who Hate Women is a broad, unflinching account of the deep current of loathing toward women and anti-feminism that underpins our society and is a must-read for parents, educators, and anyone who believes in equality for women. Praise for Men Who Hate Women: "Laura Bates is showing us the path to both intimate and global survival."—Gloria Steinem "Well-researched and meticulously documented, Bates's book on the power and danger of masculinity should be required reading for us all."—Library Journal "Men Who Hate Women has the power to spark social change."—Sunday Times

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Survive as a Woman" is a book for women of all ages. It is a woman's guide to surviving and conquering in these challenging times. It is a collection of experiences of women worldwide, of all ages and cultures. For many years, we shared our daily lives, our views, ideas, and stories for a better tomorrow. With the experiences of others, you can learn how to overcome difficult times in relationships, work, romance and all aspects of our lives. All these years of experiences and research are together in several books to benefit us and enrich us all. Survive as a Woman, is a guide for the women of this generation. You can read the individual books, or you can read the "Trilogy" of the following books in one volume called "Survive as a Woman." How to Survive as a Single Woman- How to Survive as a Woman in a Break-Up- Lose Weight, the Psychology. Let us face it, whether we are young or old, struggling or highly successful, we all have a measure of regrets in life. In our minds we find ourselves looking back saying; I could have done that better, or that was a bad choice, and I should never have gotten involved with that person. Be certain, it is the timeless old regret system of; I could have, would have, and should have. I am sure we do not need anyone to tell us that life, unfortunately, does not have a "reset button." However, if it did, how often would you hit that button. We resolve a fresh new start each time we embark on a brand-new job, project, or relationship, and take grand comfort and pride in the fact that we have the wisdom to learn from our mistakes. However, consider this, if we could restart our lives a thousand times, how many times would it take to get it right, to finally have a life with complete happiness. Having the wisdom to learn from our mistakes will bring benefits. However, the cost can be extreme in precious time, in demand for energy and not to mention; emotional investment. For the real and immediate benefits, we need the SMART way to live life, which is to learn from the mistakes of OTHERS. That is to review, and analyzes the life course of others, with the benefit of taking full advantage of the mistakes and successes of others. Of course, in the lives of others, not every situation of their life will fully match your situation; however, seeing their physical and emotional investments, along with their results, will prove far more advantageous in seeing how we can apply or avoid their examples. The "Survive as a Woman" book series is a guide for all females, as we face this new generation of challenges. As part of this research, we interviewed young and old about what they did when they had to let go of a relationship.
