Books to read

[Anonymous 0]

Hi Gents,

I am just reading Peter Lloyds book, Stand by your Manhood. He mentioned another book of a female author Norah Vincent, Self-Made Man: One Woman’s Year Disguised as a Man.
Does anybody already did read this book? Is it worth to buy/read?

Thanks for responding

From what I’ve read of it is a good read, she literally describes how men are more accepting than women and less judgemental, more nurturing and caring. You will have to sift through a lot of stuff to get these germs but they totally contradict the feminist narrative.

My library has Vincent’s book. I’m going to check it out. Thanks for the tip.

I have read Norah Vincent’s book “Self-Made Man: One Woman’s Year Disguised as a Man.” It was a bit of a disappointment really.

The format is that Vincent goes into some situations disguised as a man, spends several weeks interacting with men (and women) in that guise, then reveals her real identity to those men and women.

It starts off with a reasonably sympathetic tone; she joins a bowling team with some decent guys and during that time she does gain some genuine insights into men. Her views develop a little beyond the “all men are bastards” trope. The bowling team are portrayed as decent, ordinary human beings with real struggles worthy of genuine sympathy.

Then in the chapter about dating, she gains more valuable insights about how badly women treat men sometimes, and women’s unrealistic expectations and demands etc.

But things start to go downhill in the middle of this section, and the familiar, oh-so-subtle little digs against men start to come in. After revealing her true identity to the women she has “dated”, they all tell her how much better she was at communicating with them, how much more sensitive and caring than “normal” men she seemed to them, how she bothered to listen to them when most men don’t, blah blah etc etc.

Then she goes to a monastery, where she basically learns that men can’t communicate with each other and are too insecure to open up to others. If I tell you that Vincent is a lesbian feminist who has attended gender studies classes, you will guess correctly where she’s really coming from.

Then she joins a “boiler room” sales team trudging door to door across miles of the mid-west. She finds it very hard work and again there is some grudging sympathy for the men that do it, but it’s mixed in with a lot of observations about how pathetically bombastic and savage her male co-workers are, trying to shore up their fragile little egos with boasts about their dick size and how many women they’ve screwed etc. There are very few women on the team and Vincent makes sure she shows how these poor darlings have to face crude remarks and discrimination from their male colleagues.

In the final section, she goes on a retreat for MRAs and again she portrays these men as damaged failures who can’t / won’t express themselves, and the retreat itself is shown as a series of contemptible exercises to reconnect with “obsolete” masculinity by men who have lost the “sex war” and are not needed by women.

My advice would be to save your money and don’t buy this book. The major themes – repeated over and over again – are;

1: That men lack the ability and inclination to express their feelings.
2: Men are hurting because women no longer need them

Vincent looks on men as she looks on dogs: possibly useful creatures who might even be worthy of affection, but ultimately “lesser” beings.

I threw the book away as soon as I’d finished it.

Also thank you numbCruncher for your detailed post. I refrain from buying the book.

I’ve also read Peter Lloyd’s book, which was way better. Lloyd has a lot of forthright things to say about gender politics, and his views are pretty red-pill for an MSM journalist.

It was worth buying just to push this kind of literature further up the sales charts, but also a good read full of new stuff I hadn’t heard before. It was particularly good at calling out the lies of feminists and challenging them on their blatant misandry.

If you want serious academic works that challenge misandry, you can’t do better than “Spreading Misandry” and “Legalising Misandry”, both by Nathanson & Young. Highly recommended.

Looking good, although nearly ten years old. Unfortunately the Spreading Misandry isn’t available for the kindle.
Anyway, I think I take the Legalising Misandry for start, also a review from a German guy has been added.
Thanks for sharing.
