Shining a light on the experiences of the politically incorrect half of humanity.

"Sons
of Feminism" is the sister book to "Daughters of Feminism,"
edited by David Shackleton. Feminist leaders tell us that men are entitled and
powerful. Janice Fiamengo actually asked men what it is like to be male in a
feminist culture--and they responded. These 25 stories may surprise you with
their accounts of men belittled, disliked, dismissed, blamed, falsely accused,
and discriminated against under law—all while being expected to apologize for
their “male privilege.” The volume includes a substantial introduction by the
editor, Janice Fiamengo, and an Appendix of Recommended Reading.
Janice
Fiamengo, creator of the Fiamengo File YouTube series at Studio Brulé, is a
writer, professor of English, and advocate for men’s issues and free speech.
She teaches literature at the University of Ottawa and is the author of The
Woman’s Page (2007), a study of early Canadian female journalists, as well as
of numerous periodical essays and edited books. She has also published online
articles criticizing feminism and political correctness in magazines such as PJ
Media and FrontPage. She lives in the Thousand Islands region of Ontario with
her husband, poet and songwriter David Solway.
The
sister book to "Sons of Feminism" (2017) by Janice Fiamengo,
"Daughters of Feminism" presents the stories of 30 women about how
they came to gender balance, to an appreciation for the legitimacy of men’s
issues as well as women’s issues. These are stories of triumph in the search
for truth within a culture of denial and misdirection, by women who love men and
want to heal the modern misperception of men.
Contributors
include Cassie Jaye, Karen Straughan, Diana Davison, Janice Fiamengo and
Barbara Kay.

“Honest and brave: women telling their stories - I couldn’t put the book down.”
– Erin Pizzey, founder of the world’s first women’s shelter.
•
“Daughters of Feminism is a heartfelt, powerful collection of essays by women
on what’s really wrong between the sexes today. Passionate, eclectic and
engaged, these essays and their authors challenge conventional thinking from
many perspectives, often backed by harrowing personal tales.” – John Robson,
National Post columnist and documentary filmmaker.
•
“Daughters of Feminism is almost a miracle in this age of #MeToo triumphalism;
a collection of essays by women who dare to think critically about themselves
as women. Most important, the authors actually care about men, and not only
about the men in their own lives. No matter how remote the possibility of
inter-sexual dialogue seems right now, these essays offer hope for its eventual
realization.” – Paul Nathanson, co-author of Spreading Misandry: The Teaching of Contempt for Men in Popular Culture
and other books on misandry.
•
“Introduced with his own wisdom and passion, David Shackleton here presents an
ocean of truths rarely expressed — the gender truths that are missing. 30
courageously honest women reveal their awakening from hostility, blame and
victim. A real eye-opener, Daughters of Feminism ultimately leads to an
evolution in inter-sex unity, balance, fairness and forgiveness.” – Tim
Goldich, author of Loving Men, Respecting Women; The Future of Gender Politics.
