I read "The Manipulated Man" last Monday (if you don't want be depressed, don't read it in one day). All things considered, if it had been a male author, I would have called it misogynistic, not for its evaluation of women as a kept class, but for the presented reasons for their doing so. I'm still unsure with its evaluation of the character of women, but on this subject I'm with Ayn Rand: the irony of Western women - the safest, wealthiest and most pampered women in all the world, in all of history - claiming to be oppressed ceased to be funny a long time ago.
