Legalizing Misandry: From Public Shame to Systematic Discrimination Against Men

Clint MacNeil teaches history, geography, and world religion at St.
Charles College in Sudbury.

Some readers may react with disdain or even disbelief to the politically
incorrect suggestion that men face systemic discrimination in the form
of misandry. According to the authors of this book, ideological feminism
has influenced the upper echelons of society and in particular the
academic elite, which has in turn implicitly or explicitly promoted a
world view (now accepted as conventional wisdom) that men are a
“legitimate exception” to the rule that all groups in our society
deserve to be protected from discrimination.

The authors provide a litany of examples of scenarios involving men
that reflect institutionalized misandry. For example, journalists
routinely portray men as oppressors, thereby providing further
justification to the cause of ideological feminists. In promoting their
economic agendas, Nathanson and Young argue, feminist lobby groups have
created a victimization industry that legitimizes discrimination against
men. Their book will undoubtedly provoke a passionate and arguably more
balanced debate.
