EXPOSED: the hatred, hypocrisy, and totalitarian intolerance of feminists like
Gloria Steinem, Maureen Dowd, Eleanor Smeal, and (of course) Hillary
Women Who Make the World Worse
by Kate O'Beirne
Who better to expose the destructiveness of feminism than a fearless female conservative? In
Women Who Make the World Worse, National Review's Kate O'Beirne takes on America's
leading feminists: Hillary Clinton, Gloria Steinem, Eleanor Smeal, Maureen Dowd, Kate
Michelman, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and even Sex and the City's Carrie Bradshaw. She opposes
their propagandistic Leftist emotionalism and self-important grandstanding with irrefutable
evidence that the feminist movement -- including some of those very women -- has hurt
women far more than it has helped them over the last forty years. Women Who Make the
World Worse shows how feminism has devastated American society: fracturing families;
making American schools and workplaces into battlefields to advance feminist causes; and
exalting working women among mothers and consigning millions of children to a soulless
upbringing by daycare center employees. Through it all, O'Beirne shows that feminists have
poisoned American public discourse about gender issues with politically charged claptrap about
how a hostile patriarchy makes women its helpless victims.
Yet O'Beirne proves here that it is actually men - and boys - who are bearing a considerable
amount of the actual suffering. Millions of schoolboys are being feminized in American
classrooms; boys' sports are in retreat in schools everywhere; the "gender gap" deforms local
and national politics; millions of husbands and fathers (and wives and mothers) believe that
men are not needed in the raising of children; and worst of all, transforming the American
military into a laboratory for large-scale social engineering puts us all at risk.
O'Beirne establishes that the feminist agenda is at its core not pro-female at all; it's merely
anti-male. She demolishes the prevailing myth among feminists that men are the enemy of
women's progress. This provocative book is essential reading for anyone, male or female, who
is looking for some old-fashioned common sense about relations between the sexes.

How feminists insist that there are no innate differences between men and women -except when they find it convenient to argue the opposite
The prominent feminist who dismissed the traditional family as a "storybook idea"
The husband of a famous feminist who advised men not to marry feminists!
How feminists ignored good news about declines in domestic violence rates and
trumped up a "national epidemic" of such violence -- largely in order to keep
themselves employed
Why the feminist movement has for so long been on a collision course with what we

The feminist leader who refused to acknowledge overwhelming evidence that most

It's sexual harassment if I say so: feminists who actually argue that whether or not

based on what any particular woman might find offensive
How the feminist theory on sexual harassment is clearly based on the work of Catharine
McKinnon, who declared that all heterosexual intercourse was rape
