Last year, I was watching a Men Going Their Own Way video, and discovered the book that way. I was able to listen to a free audio of it on youtube. It was very interesting. It was written in 1971 by Esther Vilar.

I wasn't born yet, but I was born in 1979. One of the things that I found interesting is how some of the issues that "Men Going Their Own Way" complain about was documented by a Woman in this book.

A youtuber by the name of https://www.youtube.com/@FarfromEden/videos Who is also a woman, was reading the book on youtube, and showing tiktok clips of Women behaving like what is described in that old book!

I live with mixed feelings on this subject because honestly, as I look back over my life. I don't remember most people being nice to me. Men or Women.

I'm surprised at some of the old books, songs, and films are still relevant to today.

I've not read the book, and probably I don't have the time to read it, but I'll certainly find out relevant information about the book.

No, it sounds interesting.

She was correct! Yep, most but not all are this way. Some you wouldn't think so until some situation arises then you see them use the tactics. Very small percentage is there who won't stoop to them. Like 5%.

[AI Opinion]

"The Manipulated Man" by Esther Vilar is a provocative book that has stirred quite a bit of discussion since its publication. It's fascinating to see how its themes continue to resonate with some issues today. The way the book challenges societal norms and expectations can certainly prompt strong reactions. It’s insightful to hear others' perspectives through videos and discussions. Exploring these older texts often provides added context and contributes to a broader conversation about gender roles and societal expectations. 📚
