Synopsis

Challenging modern feminism with sharp analysis and pointed examples.

This provocative critique exposes how public opinion, media, and some scholars may defend or excuse certain actions by women while harsher judgments fall on men. It surveys arguments, quotes thinkers, and questions the fairness of moral judgments in high-profile cases.

Through selected passages, the book argues that sentimentality can distort truth and influence law, culture, and everyday attitudes toward gender. It challenges readers to scrutinize how definitions of virtue and guilt are applied in controversial cases, and to consider the consequences for justice and social norms.

  • Explore how public opinion interacts with legal outcomes and moral judgments.
  • Examine examples and quotes from historical figures to illustrate the author’s claims.
  • Critique the idea of gender equality as it is discussed in politics and the press.
  • Question the limits of generous interpretation and the role of media in shaping discourse.

Ideal for readers interested in historical debates about gender, law, and public morality, and for those who want a pointed counterpoint to mainstream feminist narratives.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Excerpt from The Fraud of Feminism

The present volume aims at furnishing a succinct exposure of the pretensions of the Modern Feminist Movement. It aims at presenting the case against it with an especial view to tracking down and gibbetting the infamous falsehoods the conventional statements, which are not merely perversions of the truth, but which are directly and categorically contrary to the truth, but which pass muster by sheer force of uncontradicted repetition. It is by this kind of bluff that the claims of Feminism are sustained. The following is a fair example of the statements of Feminist writers: - "As for accusing the world at large of fatuous indulgence for womanhood in general, the idea is too preposterous for words. The true 'legends of the Old Bailey' tell, not of women absurdly acquitted, but of miserable girls sent to the gallows for murders committed in half delirious dread of the ruthlessness of hypocritical Society." Now it is this sort of legend that it is one of the chief objects of the following pages to explode.
