In “Legalizing Misandry,” Nathanson and Young argued that feminism shared the core attributes of a fundamentalist ideology as did National Socialism and Communism. They seem to have been proven correct.

One of the best books around. I have deep admiration for Paul Nathanson.

It borders on the magisterial. Certainly my favourite amongst their four “Misandry” books.

Actually, we made that point directly in one chapter of Spreading Misandry and indirectly in all three of the other volumes. But thanks for remembering us!

Paul—so honoured to encounter you here. Thank you for the wonderful “Misandry” series, especially “Legalizing Misandry.” The point regarding the essential similarities between ideological feminism and both National Socialism and Communism is an important one. It will be incorporated into an epistemological framework that I have a concept for that derives from a synthesis of Carroll Quigley’s “The Evolution of Civilizations” and Christopher Lasch’s “The Culture of Narcissism” along with various works in narcissism theory.

Just have to find enough spare time to get to work on it.
