【A Phenomenal French Book】
No more resentment, no more enduring, anger is justified──
It's time to restore order!
"Man-hating" is not about hating men,
but rather despising, and being fed up with men rudely
lying in privilege and reaping the benefits.
★ Man-hating is not sexism, but a response to "misogyny."
★ A phenomenal French book, highly recommended by international media such as The New York Times, The Times, The Independent, Elle, and The Daily Mail!
★ A groundbreaking work that has been fiercely criticized by men worldwide, authorized for translation into over 20 foreign languages.
★ No abstruse theories, but an attitude and confidence that no longer settles for being "inferior to men."
★ A pamphlet with an initial print run of only 450 copies in France, but its title sparked strong opposition from male officials on the "Gender Equality Committee" and attracted widespread media coverage, making the author a target of public criticism.
They lecture, or simply turn a deaf ear to what we desperately want to say.
They crack what they consider harmless sexual jokes,
without realizing the harm they cause.
When they occasionally feel inspired to pick up the children or clean the house,
they are hailed as perfect husbands.
When accused of misogyny, they are quick to defend themselves:
"Me? Sexist?! But I have a wife, two daughters, and two female cats at home."…
▍Exclusive breaking news: The human world is not just about men!
"All women should stop self-deprecating. Whenever you doubt yourself, always, always ask: If it were an average man, what would he do?"
From mama's boys, mansplaining, and the #MeToo movement, to heterosexual frameworks, household chore distribution, and female solidarity, the author uses sharp, witty insights, supported by everyday experiences that many women can relate to, to explain the reasons for her "man-hating," and the gender discrimination and inequality caused by patriarchy throughout history.
Through this book, she aims to demystify the deeply ingrained, almost brainwashing patriarchal society, and calls out to women: stop blaming yourselves for not being a saint or a "Wonder Woman." We should allow ourselves to be human, with flaws and imperfections.

"People often confuse anger and violence, but they are not always related.
The anger that erupts after discrimination
is simply incomparable to the violence men inflict when they humiliate, rape, and kill us.
Breaking free from the constraints of gentle, peaceful, or even passive female roles,
and actively demanding men to improve themselves, is what benefits us most.
For this, I no longer rush to clarify to anyone:
No, I don't really hate men; I'm just joking humorously.
I don't want to waste time and energy pretending to be gentle and enthusiastic anymore.
Perhaps I'm not that kind of woman at all...
And ultimately, what's wrong with not being gentle?"──Pauline Harmange
