This started out well enough but about halfway through you may realize that the same thing is being said over and over but in a different form and in a different order. Not just that, but also the contradictory concept that paints high achievement oriented men as these creatures that need to change despite the fact that the only incentive for any man of this type to even exist revolves around keeping or attaining the affection of women. It just shows how one sided and or pandering this book is. Even if I was a woman who hated men, this book comes off as pandering and would insult my intelligence. It’s just like when certain people try to paint black people as these weak creatures that need help. As a black man I find it insulting. And for that reason I doubt that I would like this book if I were a woman too.
I tried to keep an open mind but as a high achieving man it’s too much to sit there and listen to accounts from people who seem to be victims but those same victims will fight to be with the high achieving men they claim to be victims of and laugh at regular achievers.

Even in an ideal world, how would it be fair for men be shunned and ignored when we have no money or status, only to beat the increasingly unfair odds of success and by some miracle actually achieve these things and then be shamed for it after the fact.

I made it to the end but this book and the analysis of the way that the data was interpreted was biased. Only towards women who don’t see themselves as a strong though. I can’t, for the life of me, understand how a rational person can act like high achieving men would choose to be the way that the world forces us to be. If we didn’t have to just to have a fighting chance at a decent life. Failure molds strong men. Is there bad that comes with that? Absolutely, but why shouldn’t there be? You get shitted on my by the world for not being shit, say okay I understand the rules of the game, then go out and become something and now it’s wrong to shit on those same people a little bit?

On the front end, men are nothing. But we have the ability to pick ourselves up by the balls and fight to the top.

The most ironic and frankly, idiotic thing about this thought process is that it doesn’t even require an ideal world to exact the changes this silly book deems that the world needs. The exact moment women stop caring about high achievers is the exact moment high achievers cease to exist.

Oh I can have a bunch of women like me for being fat and lazy? I’ll never work again.

All that said, I really don’t care overall but the book just pissed me off with its lazy approach to nuanced problems and painting women like these innocent little flowers that aren’t just as harmful as men to themselves.

…I take that back, they aren’t nuanced problems…

They’re not “problems” at all, they’re the collateral damage for walking in an entitled mentality. And shitting on people for being regular. Some of us learn the rules and you get hate the game when you’re not winning anymore. If you want the best, you’ll get the best but the best comes with the worst and if you don’t want the worst then consider less. Period.

Ps not saying, the extreme things that women can be victims of are deserved.

I am saying that, to suggest that the bad players are somehow representative of men in general is a lazy and disrespectful idea to present. I would be less harsh if this book were the beginning of the research and conclusions were being worked on but the idea that this is from the same author as the evolution of desire is downright unfortunate.

I’ll give an example, the portion asking men if they would assault women if they could never get caught is an inherently disingenuous question. That’s like asking if you were in hell and were a demon, would you act like a demon? And the person said “maybe yes?” And then concluding that it’s possible that men may be demons secretly.

Or if you don’t like that example. They talk about the women who have rape fantasies. They posit the question. Do they secretly want to get raped? Fair question then they slide right by that question without considering that those might be messed up individuals. The book doesn’t even consider the possibility that women like that could just be a little bit messed up in the head, it just goes and makes up these ridiculously convoluted reasons that they may enjoy the fantasies because men are all secretly rapists and that it is their subconscious trying to prepare them for rape or something along those convoluted lines. So you mean to tell me that women, by themselves, in their own minds, fantasize about actually being raped and enjoying it? Because of men and the history of rape through history? If that were true how come women don’t have extra fake sex organs like ducks to prevent rape?

I sometimes fantasize about being at the bank and a robber comes in and I disarm them and the mayor puts me on the news for being a hero. I do not, fantasize about being robbed to prepare myself for a possible future where I could be robbed and enjoy it.

I could buy it if we were just talking about the idea that they have nightmares of rape, but NO they are referring to actual fantasies… 🤨 Just NO.

That’s the official review summarized. NO.

I can’t comprehend why you would have a person who can barely pronounce english words narrating audiobooks. I can barely understand chapter 2 because the woman can barely speak english clearly, this has ruined my listening experience and feels like I wasted my money because I only got audible to listen to this book. I’m completely baffled why this is a thing. Don’t they have some sort of process for ensuring that people are clearly understood before letting them read audiobooks?? It’s pretty ridiculous.
