Download or read book Men Explain Things to Me written by Rebecca Solnit and published by Haymarket Books. This book was released on 2014-04-14 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The National Book Critics Circle Award–winning author delivers a collection of essays that serve as the perfect “antidote to mansplaining” (The Stranger). In her comic, scathing essay “Men Explain Things to Me,” Rebecca Solnit took on what often goes wrong in conversations between men and women. She wrote about men who wrongly assume they know things and wrongly assume women don’t, about why this arises, and how this aspect of the gender wars works, airing some of her own hilariously awful encounters. She ends on a serious note— because the ultimate problem is the silencing of women who have something to say, including those saying things like, “He’s trying to kill me!” This book features that now-classic essay with six perfect complements, including an examination of the great feminist writer Virginia Woolf’s embrace of mystery, of not knowing, of doubt and ambiguity, a highly original inquiry into marriage equality, and a terrifying survey of the scope of contemporary violence against women. “In this series of personal but unsentimental essays, Solnit gives succinct shorthand to a familiar female experience that before had gone unarticulated, perhaps even unrecognized.” —The New York Times “Essential feminist reading.” —The New Republic “This slim book hums with power and wit.” —Boston Globe “Solnit tackles big themes of gender and power in these accessible essays. Honest and full of wit, this is an integral read that furthers the conversation on feminism and contemporary society.” —San Francisco Chronicle “Essential.” —Marketplace “Feminist, frequently funny, unflinchingly honest and often scathing in its conclusions.” —Salon

Download or read book Becoming a Man written by P. Carl and published by Simon & Schuster. This book was released on 2021-01-26 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A “scrupulously honest” (O, The Oprah Magazine) debut memoir that explores one man’s gender transition amid a pivotal political moment in America. Becoming a Man is a “moving narrative [that] illuminates the joy, courage, necessity, and risk-taking of gender transition” (Kirkus Reviews). For fifty years P. Carl lived as a girl and then as a queer woman, building a career, a life, and a loving marriage, yet still waiting to realize himself in full. As Carl embarks on his gender transition, he takes us inside the complex shifts and questions that arise throughout—the alternating moments of arrival and estrangement. He writes intimately about how transitioning reconfigures both his own inner experience and his closest bonds—his twenty-year relationship with his wife, Lynette; his already tumultuous relationships with his parents; and seemingly solid friendships that are subtly altered, often painfully and wordlessly. Carl “has written a poignant and candid self-appraisal of life as a ‘work-of-progress’” (Booklist) and blends the remarkable story of his own personal journey with incisive cultural commentary, writing beautifully about gender, power, and inequality in America. His transition occurs amid the rise of the Trump administration and the #MeToo movement—a transition point in America’s own story, when transphobia and toxic masculinity are under fire even as they thrive in the highest halls of power. Carl’s quest to become himself and to reckon with his masculinity mirrors, in many ways, the challenge before the country as a whole, to imagine a society where every member can have a vibrant, livable life. Here, through this brave and deeply personal work, Carl brings an unparalleled new voice to this conversation.

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

Download or read book Mgtow written by N. Kumar and published by . This book was released on 2016-04-29 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WHAT IS M.G.T.O.W.? There is a change coming, would you be able to feel it noticeable all around? A change so unfathomable it rivals a large portion of the developments that have happened all through the most recent century. A development of men who are no more succumbing to run of the mill male generalizations, and they are making another manly development, as well as they are truly going their own specific manner. Like the women's activist developments of the 1960's, this development is making a significant blend. Men have for some time been solidified in a specific generalization, one that holds the dominant part of issue for everything without exception. This development is distinctive however, in that it is men resisting the old generalizations by saying," Enough, I am a man, that is valid, yet I won't be held to anybody's norms yet my own." It had been the normal ordinary practice for men to work, wed, and deal with the family fiscally. Along these lines of life is so engrained into the American mind that we tend to think that it's odd that a man is not wedded by 30, has no children by 45, and doesn't wear a hard cap or a suit. As a general rule, men who don't coordinate the above portrayals are marked gay person or single guys. Presently, why I discover fascinating is that ladies are not held by these, and actually it appears as if a lady who is single and child free at 35 is a revolutionist and is applauded as opposed to trashed and given negative titles. Is it truly that weird for a male to do what he needs, take after his energy, or abstain from falling into a "Daddy" part? Is it in this way brought from our world to surmise that a man could live single his whole life and still be viewed as cheerful? A man who goes on at 90 years old is loved as having a miserable presence since he doesn't have a tyke to bear on his legacy, does that appear to be peculiar?

Book excerpt: From the author of WATCH OUT LADIES (15 Things Every Woman Should Be Concerned About & Watch Out For To Protect Her Heart, Body, Find Real Love & Avoid A Lifetime Of Loneliness), Bart Smith shares his concerns for his fellow man, woman, even companies (who employ both men/women) and governments who cannot survive without the participation from both men/women in the work force (let alone makin' babies), that if they don't pay attention to this increasing fallout trend among men, here's what will happen sooner than later: WOMEN will grow older ... ALONE! It's happening now! COMPANIES will go ... OUT of business. It's happening! GOVERNMENTS will not be able to ... SUSTAIN themselves! Really? Is this really happening? To what extent? Is the future really that grim for women, companies and governments? What does that say about the fate of the human race if we don't come together on this issue? Is there time to turn this around? Do women, companies and governments want to turn this trend around? How did all this come about? Perhaps this book (and others) and the forerunners in the MGTOW movement can expose what's going on between men and women and how we have lost our way as nature had intended for us. The time to do something about this is NOW.Everyone's involvement is necessary!

Download or read book Why and What and How MGTOW written by Lisa Martin and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-05-15 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Men Going Their Own Way is a web-originated social movement that has rediscovered a rather old stance towards the never-ending conflict between the sexes. Before I go further, a few notes on what I understand the MGTOW movement to be. I had never heard of the movement until a few months ago and believe it is only beginning to permeate into general awareness in the UK. However, the movement's ideas are not new and in fact go back as far as Ancient Rome and Greece?-?if not the dawn of time itself. This means that every country will have a natural and historic link to MGTOW-like ideas. As far as I can tell the MGTOW movement is nested mostly in YouTube, though doubtless it has bastions across the social media. Those involved in the movement tend to prefer anonymity, perhaps because their views balk current social conventions. To describe every variation in the movement is beyond my scope here.

Book excerpt: Rick Stanton was a promising professional baseball player with dreams of playing in the major leagues and starting a family with his young wife, Francesca, when World War II changed everything. Rick returns from the war with his body broken and his dreams shattered. But it was not just body and spirit he sacrificed for the war. He and Francesca volunteered their beloved dog, Pax, for the Army's K-9 Corp, not knowing if they'd ever see him again. Keller Nicholson is the soldier who fought the war with Pax by his side, and the two have the kind of profound bond that can only be forged in war. Pax is the closest Keller has to a sense of family, and he can't bear the thought of returning him to the Stantons. But Rick and Francesca refuse to give him up. Instead, an arrangement is made: Keller will work as Rick's live-in aide. And thus an unlikely family is formed, with steadfast Pax at the center. As they try to build a new life out of the ashes, Keller and Francesca struggle to ignore their growing attraction to each other, and Rick, believing that he can no longer give Francesca what she needs and wants, quietly plans a way out. All three of them need healing. All three of them are lost. And in Susan Wilson's A Man of His Own, Pax, with his unconditional love and unwavering loyalty, may be the only one who can guide them home.
