Summary: You Go Guy
Comment: Spreading Misandry is clearly one of the most important books of the new millennium. The battle of the sexes, it turns out, was won. Not by the men, though we've heard time and again how women have suffered under patriarchy. Nathanson and Young reveal how radical feminism took root and then took over. Pop culture took its cue from it and has depicted men, typically, over the past few years as one of two things: evil or inadequate. Think Sylvester Stallone. Think Tim Allen. Actually, just start thinking. That's what this book encourages. No, it's not a license for men to fight back, or to respond to hate with hate. It says that stereotypes and hatred of all kinds are unhelpful and injurious. Ladies, it's time to stand by your man again, as he stands by you. A must read, especially for Oprah.

Summary: About Time
Comment: Finally, a lucid, beautifully written book which takes seriously the politically inconvenient but dead true fact that current Western culture is awash in misandry. Type 'misandry' on your Word program and it will tell you that there is no such word. If Nathanson and Young's book gets anything like the readership it deserves, 'misandry' won't be a non-word much longer.
The thinking on display in 'Spreading Misandry' is so clear, so apt, so free of cant, that even the most militant ideological feminist ought to be able to read it with something approaching delight.
And so singular and distinct is the authorial voice in the book that one can only gasp in admiration that it was in fact written by two authors. Moreover, since one of them is a man, the other a woman, readers can have real hope that the spread of misandry can be stopped by men AND women acting together for the sake of that old friend of humankind 'the common good'.

Summary: Read it for your sons and grandsons!
Comment: This book is absolutely enlightening! Just about any man who is honest with himself already realizes that male bashing is an allowable pastime within out pop culture. Not long ago, I walked into my front room to find my son upset at his favorite cable cartoon channels. He told me glumly that every man on there was stupid or incompetent or evil. I sat down with him, and sure enough, he was right. The big stupid guy looking for a date, but the women all physically assaulted him. The superhero girls saving the stupid city mayor (who has a smart and capable female assistant who really runs the city). The girl crime fighter, with a comic sidekick boy, who repeatedly needs rescuing. Yep, it's so blatant that a 12 year old could see it!
But how deep is this? Did my son merely fixate on a few anomalous exceptions? This book goes to great length to show just how widespread misandrous (anti-men) expressions have become in our culture, and how we got here. Don't read this book for yourself, read it for your sons and grandsons. There's something insidious going on here, and if you care for the young men who will inherit this country, then you need to get alarmed at the world that is being made for them.
