Gender issues have been addressed at length, but this book comes from the viewpoint of males, including to a minor extent the author's involvement therein. The axiom that women are more discriminated against than men in Western society is the greatest hoax going. There is a war against men, which is harmful to all of humanity. While both men and women must take this war seriously, the "war between the sexes" needn't be fought or lost.A primary purpose in writing this book is to disparage the all-too-common idea that males are the inferior gender. Men's sorry situation results largely from a combination of misplaced chivalry (or a perversion of it) and misandry, a near universal zeitgeist. These are elephants in the room that nobody notices, or pretends not to notice. These ideological blinders and the metastasizing of feminism, inter alia, have severely damaged society. Warning: this book is politically incorrect to the extreme!
