More Relevant Now Than It Was When Written

Telling it like it is. The only misguided, optimistic view in this beacon of common sense was that radical feminists would eventually run out of steam through lack of societal support.. unfortunately she didn’t see the internet coming.

Fantastic!

As expected of Christina Hoff Sommers, thorough and full of character, and above all else enlightening!

Fantastic and recommended! Everybody should read i

I am amazed at the quality of this book and all researched that the author did to put this book together.
Probably if I have read this book a few years ago I'd be angry knowing what has really been behind the gender terrorists aka gender feminists.
A lot of people, including me a few years ago, are feminist, without understanding what is behind it. I've completely changed my mind aroud feminism recently and this book helps me have a conversation around it.
No one in is right mind would be against the first waive, the original feminism.
These gender feminists are corrupt and have brought a lot of misery to women.
I'll be recommending this book to everybody I know.
So glad I read it!

Awful narrator

Should have used a younger sounding narrator. This one sounds like a stuffy, annoying, school mistress, and it makes me switch off despite the content.

Still Essential Reading

Any additional comments?

Hoff Sommers seminal 1994 book, although written from within feminism, still remains essential reading for anyone interested in properly understanding the ideology. As a philosophy professor she brings logical argument and evidence to her critique of feminism, and she has the integrity to expose many of its hypocrisies. Her exposure of the dishonesty of feminist research methods was particularly courageous and enlightening for someone writing in the 1990s. This book would be a very useful introduction to the critique of feminism for any reader who has only read pro-feminist books in their life thus far because Hoff Sommers is attempting to revise feminism rather than oppose it outright and so her critique may be more acceptable to a reader who is conventionally feminist but nonetheless willing to listen to criticism of it. Any pro-equality/anti-feminist readers may find her persistent loyalty to feminism a little irksome but the book is a landmark in equality literature and it is still a valuable and rewarding read/listen.

Well written, read, and very informative

Fantastic book by Hoff-Summers who continues to speak widely in the topic. As relevant now as it was a quarter century ago!

A wonderful and important book

The research behind this book shines through and the reader is rewarded with some well informed argument that shows how feminism has been corrupted by extreme gender feminists whose hurtful and harmful agendas are creating unnecessary and unjust enmity between the sexes. Sommers speaks with authority in de bunking the many myths and "facts" that have been spouted about rape, oppression, wage gaps, and inequality. she shows how data has been falsified and re-packaged to support the hate agenda.
This is a wonderful audible offering, beautifully presented and completely engrossing.

A concise dismantling of a complex deception

Sommers is witty, smart and does the leg work to back up her assertions and critiques. I had seen interviews but it was nice to have more time with her ideas.
