WOMEN VS FEMINISM: WHY WE ALL NEED LIBERATING FROM THE GENDER WARS

Book ID/图书代码： 04331417C00031

English Summary/英文概要： There’s never been a better time to be a woman. Thanks to those feminists who fought for liberation, young women today have freedom and opportunities their grandmothers could barely have imagined. Girls do better at school than boys and are more likely to go to university. As a result, women are taking more of the top jobs and the gender pay gap has all but disappeared. Yet rather than encouraging women to seize the new possibilities open to them, contemporary feminism tells them they are still oppressed.

Women vs Feminism: Why We All Need Liberating from the Gender Wars challenges this stance, unpicking the statistics from the horror stories to explore the reality of women’s lives. It argues that today’s feminism is obsessed with trivial issues – skinny models, badly phrased jokes and misplaced compliments – and focuses on the regulation of male behaviour, rather than female empowerment, pitching men and women against each other in a never-ending gender war that benefits no-one.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 如今生于这个时代的女人是最幸运的了。多亏了有这些为两性解放而战斗的女权运动者们，现在，年轻女性拥有了她们祖母一辈难以想象的自由和机遇。女生在校表现比男生要好得多，且升入大学的可能性更大。如此一来，越来越多的女性担任高层职位，性别薪酬差距几乎不存在了。《女性与女权运动：我们为什么要摆脱两性战争》一书则挑战了上述立场，从各类故事中提取信息来探索女性生活的真实状态。本书认为，当今的女权主义者总是沉迷于细枝末节上——骨瘦如柴的模特、滥用措辞的笑话等，并且专注于男性行为的管制，而不是女性权利。这将男性和女性置于彼此的对立面，陷入了永无休止的两性战争中，最终只会两败俱伤。(LYR)

Awards/获奖情况：“对于我们这些曾卷入女权解放斗争的人来说，目睹当代女权运动者成为自由的敌人是非常令人悲痛的。但不要绝望。Joanna William这本书写得非常好，不仅运用哲学和论证法来解释这种背板究竟是如何发生的，更重要的是还强烈呼吁女性摆脱那些不幸受害者带来的枷锁、转而掌控自己的命运。”—— Claire Fox

“本书揭露了当今女权主义受害者的观点，讲述了曾经为平等和自由战斗的伟大运动却逐渐陷入了过度抨击男性的误区。本书经过精心研究，不仅会吸引相关方面的专家，也会令那些关注真相和真正解放的人欢呼雀跃。”——Christina Hoff Sommers

"For those of us who’ve been involved in fighting for women’s liberation for years, it has been tragic to watch contemporary feminism become the enemy of freedom. Do not despair. Joanna Williams’ wonderful book not only uses erudition, philosophy and polemics to explain how on earth this betrayal has happened but more importantly it is a bravura clarion call urging women to throw off the shackles of hapless victimhood and instead take control of their destiny. I loved every word." - Claire Fox, Institute of Ideas "Women versus Feminism is a superb expose of today’s victim feminism. It tells the story of how a once valiant movement for equality and freedom devolved into a male-bashing grievance-fest. This meticulously researched book will drive the gender activists crazy--and delight those who care about truth, rules of evidence, and genuine liberation." - Christina Hoff Sommers, Author of Who Stole Feminism?
