Commentary that is Politically Incorrect, has Attitude – and makes no Apology!

Author and founding “godfather of the men’s rights movement” of the 1970’s, R. F. Doyle holds nothing back in his newest book attacking gender discrimination and feminism as it relates to “unequal rights.” His book “Save The Males: Its About Time” has something within its pages to offend most everyone including gays, feminist, politicians, judges, lawyers and the general public at large. Not because what he says is so wrong, or has false information, but that people do not want to hear his side of these issues. So he throws it out there with an attitude and gives them his comments on gender issues as he sees them. He is not one to shy away from controversy. He does not mince his words.

He fights a battle for “manhood” and “men’s’ rights” is his latest book by looking at what the feminist movement is doing to males in general and to our society – including the weakening of our armed forces, the unfairness of the court system against men, men’s sport programs in schools and what the “getting in touch with your feminine side” is really doing to males. His book talks about how the courts work against men and the how divorce destroys men’s way of life while improving the ex-wives life style. He comments on child custody and alimony as well as other issues. It is not a pretty picture he paints of what happens to men.

I think his biggest issues are the differential treatment between the genders and that women have now gotten “unequal” preferential treatment from our society. His battle is with equality for all – including males.  He book is a real education primer for any man facing a divorce, or just thinking of getting married in this country. He makes no bones about his feelings and perhaps that is the real strength of his writing since he holds nothing back and states publicly what others might only talk about in private. He is not concerned with being labeled “politically incorrect” but focuses on his message to men, whom he sees as victims of gender discrimination.

He has written several other very powerful manifestos dealing with the men’s movement including “The Rape of the Male.”  He is a “street fighter” on male equality issues and his comments and views are not filtered to make them popular or acceptable by all sections of our society. I think that those who agree with his views will find this to be one of his best books to date and will gain something from reading it. Those who hate Mr. Doyle for his outspoken views on the dangers of what the feminist movement has done to males in our society, will still find reasons to throw rocks at him. But he is not writing this book for them but for those men out there who truly need his advice. They will find this book helpful and will appreciate what he has done for them. The truth of this book is that no one will come away after reading it without an opinion. It will make you think.
