NEW BOOK - WHY BRITAIN HATES MEN BY SWAYNE O'PIE

A landmark book was released this month by Swayne O'Pie entitled Why Britain Hates Men (Exposing Feminism).

As set out on its website, http://www.exposingfeminism.co.uk/ (where you can buy it as you can through Amazon and Waterstones), the book sets the case:

"Why Britain Hates Men shows how Feminism blames and demonizes men and how it is responsible for the widespread cultural, legal and institutional discrimination facing men and boys today. It is unashamedly controversial. Many will say ‘at last!’ Others will be wary; others still will be very uncomfortable with its honesty and insights. For liberal-progressives it will seriously damage their prejudices. Yet for some there will be a ‘click’ effect - a sudden realization confirming their own experiences and observations regarding the balance of power between men and women (Feminists) in today’s Britain.

"Why Britain Hates Men is unique; it is the only book in Britain today that exposes what Feminism has become - a deceit, a confidence-trick and a fraud."

I have already bought by copy and it's on its way. What is exciting about this book is that looks comprehensive and will cover a lot, if not all, the themes covered on the site especially how men and boys have been relegated to second class status in the UK.

Another point will be the fact that gender studies groups can no longer try and pretend that there are no books about men and discrimination. This should be on the syllabus of every single gender studies class in the UK.

I would urge people to buy this if they can, because this book is a brave and comprehensive move and we all have to support each other.

Media note - Here is an example of how rather than discuss and read the content of the book, it is already cast aside by the media. Such is the unwillingness of commentators like Rosamund Irwin to even consider discrimination against men.

Well the pay gap data yet again demontrates the reverse of any view that men are somehow priviledged.

The "sacred cows" of gender feminism really do need constant challenge. The untruths planted in our culture will take some weeding.
I notice Rosamund Irwin uses the success of a few "men at the top" as an arguement that all men are somehow the same. Todays evidence points to the reality for the vast majority of men. If this book proves a 2wake up" call to us ,very good.

Err, I'm not sure about the cover though. I don't think I'll be reading that on the bus to work that's for sure.

Apart from that it sounds great. So good to see a thorough rebuttal of feminism.

I agree with Mananon. First time I saw it, I thought - bad choice of cover. Not that the media is interested, but if anyone was going to discuss it on TV, they would have to hide the cover, which means the impact of the book in general is lost. I can't imagine Sian Williams showing the book on BBC Breakfast! Shame.

Well I have to say that although I welcome the book with open arms, I really despise the choice of cover. I have to say that I get totally fed up with the way men are perceived sexually these days. It seems that there is a double standard when it comes to objectification and general sexualisation etc. Look at the shear amount of male genitals that are shown on TV compared to women's. And look at the massive amount of stripped to the waste men there are at all times of day in adverts, films and dramas etc. (and also increasingly in womens/girls mags) all for the pleasure of women and gay men, it seems. This coupled with the plethora of scenes where men get kicked in the groin for the purpose of getting a laugh or where women are seen to get away with teaching a guy a lesson by hitting him where it hurts. Basically, that cover shows a near full-frontal of a guy whilst at the same time a woman turns her back on him after having taken her supposedly rightful opportunity to squeeze him where it hurts!!! Can you imaging for one moment a cover of a similar ilk where the guy has his hand firmly up her crotch!?! BAD choice of cover and wouldn't buy the book based on that reason alone. Sorry.

I agree the cover is a bit too "sensational". The content is very serious. I was struck that while reading it the same day there were good examples of exactly the "category creep" and linking of unrelated issues in the statements and letters by Yvette Cooper and others intent on using the charmed status "women's issues" have in our politaical culture.

In the one peice there are examples of all that O'Pie disects.

Now it seems event street lights are a feminist issue.

The usual use of dubious data from the third world is used to justify ist world women being seen as victims.

Strident calls for changes in law from people who know very well their beloved Human Rights act will prevent any such law being enacted.

And "jobs for the girls" as Vera Baird sets up yet another "commission" to research women's issues.

All evidence of O'Pie's central thesis that there is a Feminist "Industry" that has to generate examples of discrimination to justify its continuance. The Vera Baird story seems an obvious example of that.

"BAD choice of cover and wouldn't buy the book based on that reason alone."
Seriously you wouldn't buy a book because of its cover - you shouldn't judge a book by its cover just as you shouldn't judge someone by their colour. If you are that shallow and narrow minded you probably aren't the sort of person the author wants reading it anyway.

This is a great article, and a great topic to explore. Thanks for sharing.
