Читать книгу Feminism: The Ugly Truth - Mike J.D. Buchanan - Страница 3

My first acknowledgements – as distinct from thanks – must go to the militant feminists who’ve driven me to write three books to date about their dire influence. One of the most dismal examples is the Labour MP Harriet Harman. If men were not so deferential towards women – and successive governments were not institutionally pro-feminist – she’d have been locked up years ago for the harm she and her kind inflicted upon British society over the term of the last Labour administration, 1997-2010. The Conservative / Liberal Democrat coalition currently in power continues to pursue feminist agendas with some enthusiasm.

My thanks to all the writers whose books I cite in this one. Particular thanks must go to the writers of three highly insightful books which I draw upon at length in places: Esther Vilar’s The Manipulated Man (1971), Steve Moxon’s The Woman Racket (2008), and Swayne O’Pie’s Why Britain Hates Men: Exposing Feminism (2011). Esther Vilar received death threats from feminists after the publication of The Manipulated Man, and the author of Why Britain Hates Men uses a pseudonym due to fears over death threats. What times we live in.

My thanks to Erin Pizzey, a fearless exposer of the manipulation carried out by feminists in relation to the women’s refuge movement, for her campaigning over many years, and for penning the Foreword. She, too, received death threats from feminists, in this case protesting (ironically) at Pizzey revealing that women were as responsible for as much domestic violence as men.

My thanks to the psychology professors and writers about psychology whose books form much of the bedrock upon which my own theses are built: Louann Brizendine (The Female Brain), Simon Baron-Cohen (The Essential Difference), Oliver James (Britain on the Couch, How Not To F*** Them Up), Steven Pinker (The Blank Slate) and his sister Susan Pinker (The Sexual Paradox).

My thanks to Professor Keith Hawton of the Centre for Suicide Research in Oxford for his contribution to the chapter on the link between unemployment and suicide rates, and to Professor Stefan Priebe and Dr Alfonso Ceccherini-Nelli for their illuminating paper on the subject.

My final thanks to you, for buying this book. I hope it at least meets your expectations. I should be interested to read your opinions in relation to any of the topics covered in it, and invite you to contact me at Mikebuchanan@hotmail.co.uk.
