Her book (1971) argues that men, not women, are actually the ones oppressed through courtship, marriage, and cultural expectations. She compares marriage to slavery, saying men give up independence to provide for women and children in exchange for affection. It’s been called misogynistic, but also brutally honest and thought-provoking.
What do you think—truth or outdated generalization?

📚 The Manipulated Man by Esther Villar (1971) (title changed to “The Tamed Man” for modern audience) remains one of the most controversial books on gender roles.

Villar argues men are not oppressors but the opposite: women use courtship, marriage, and social expectations to make men providers and protectors. Men give up freedom, risk their lives, and work for women and children in exchange for brief affection.

She compares marriage to slavery — the wedding as the day a man loses independence, entering a Sisyphean struggle enforced by culture and government. She also describes “female rivalry,” where women compete to control men, using sex and pressure to keep them loyal.

Other writers, like Chinweizu (The Anatomy of Female Power) and Warren Farrell (The Myth of Male Power), echo the claim that society is more matriarchal than acknowledged.

Condemned as misogynistic but praised as brutally honest, the book challenges us to rethink who truly holds power in relationships.

Thanks to the MGTOW, Red Pill and Manosphere movements in general, many young men have learned to live in peace with themselves without feeling the need to conform to gender standards or roles, and we live happy lives without spending our money and time on women.

However, big changes always generate resistance, there are always reactionary people who do not want society to progress, in this case, many femcels and feminists are bothered by the fact that men are happy and free without spending their money and time on women, and they start spreading hatred against men on the Internet and attempting to take their lives.

The government should implement policies to protect men and boys from this wave of misandry, which seeks to bring back to society the dark ages, when men were neither happy nor free as we young people are today.

85% of marriages end in divorce in my country.

If you look through history, marriages were only successful + the happiest when you had women having kids and raising them while men worked. No one can deny this. Religions approve this 🕎🕉️✝️☪️. It also creates vulnerability as both partners depend on each other.

It’s 85% because of liberalism. Our society will collapse because women aren’t having kids. Women are encouraged to act more and more selfish. It’s brainwashing. You really think women actually want to work?

Nowadays relationships are more toxic than ever. Women acting like men and men acting like women.

Also as men we have more unrealistic standards to chase, to find ourselves a lower quality women 💭🤔 Also women make themselves more unattractive by being ambitious and successful, it’s not what men look for.

Nothing works anymore.

So at this point in society it is known that some follow gender roles and others don't and some follow some and some ignore others so I felt this question fits well with our society today and let's see what y'all say, we are in a 'pick and choose era' lol

I put a traditional option for all the old schools, you aren't traditional if you don't agree with all of them but I know people agree with some and they don't agree with others so there y'all go ha
