Who should be held responsible for this situation: employer or woman?" (to be found in the last but one chapter, the one about Women's Lib) Quote: "The 'woman with a family' - the woman who supports a healthy man and his children all her life - is practically unknown in the professional world. Vilar is able to explain why discrimination against women in the professional world is women's own fault: the pay cheque of a man who is prepared to support his wife for years is more valuable and necessary than the pay cheque of a woman who won't support a man and who insists on a money-earning husband. But she makes clear that she *does* want women to be emancipated - as long as they are willing to accept responsibilities the way men do.
Esther Vilar is one of the few women who dare to criticize their own sex and the way feminism is going. Vilar states that this has been going on for some time.This is one of the most enlightening books I've ever read. As compensation for their labours men are given periodic use of a woman's vagina." The book contends that young boys are encouraged to associate their masculinity with their ability to be sexually intimate with a woman, and that a woman can control a man by socially empowering herself to be the gate-keeper to his sense of masculinity. Vilar writes, "Men have been trained and conditioned by women, not unlike the way Pavlov conditioned his dogs, into becoming their slaves. The book argues that, contrary to common feminist and women's rights rhetoric, women in industrialized cultures are not oppressed, but rather exploit a well-established system of manipulating men. A third edition of the book was released in January 2009. The main idea behind the book is that women are not oppressed by men but rather control men to their advantage. The Manipulated Man (German: Der Dressierte Mann) is a 1971 book by author Esther Vilar, originally written in German and translated to English by Eva Borneman.
