Description:
Once a true-believer, now sobered Janice Fiamengo shows why the radical ideology of feminism has nothing to do with gender equality
Brief description: Janice Fiamengo earned her doctorate from the University of British Columbia in 1996; she retired in 2019 from her position as Professor of English at the University of Ottawa in Ontario, Canada. She is the author of The Woman's Page: Journalism and Rhetoric in Early Canada (2008) as well as many peer-reviewed articles and book chapters on women's writing. In 2015, she began The Fiamengo File, a YouTube series and later Substack newsletter showcasing the dark side of feminism. She edited Sons of Feminism: Men Have Their Say, a collection of essays about men's experiences, in 2017. She has lectured to many university students and been protested and "cancelled" by the same for arguing that feminism is a hateful, bigoted ideology that discriminates against men, weakens the family, and will potentially destroy western societies' freedom and prosperity. She lives in Vancouver with her husband, poet and singer-songwriter David Solway.
Review Quotes:
Professor Janice Fiamengo has been tormented more by activists for expressing her views than anyone else I ever met. She was Professor of English Literature at the University of Ottawa, and she was deep into Women's Studies for a long period of time and then learned that it was fraudulent from top to bottom. She has been making videos and going around campuses ever since, to quite vicious opposition. But she is a tough cookie, man.
-Jordan Peterson, author of 12 Rules for Life and We Who Wrestle with God
Thank the heavens for Janice Fiamengo! No one is better at revealing and skewering the incoherence and double standards of modern feminism, at whose feet can be laid much of our civilizational decay.
-Bruce Pardy, Professor of Law, Queen's University
Janice Fiamengo. The audacity of this woman bowls me over. Her writing is always erudite and unflinching, her scholarship unassailable, her reasoning fresh and formidable. What a warrior to have on our side, exposing the toll of feminism on our men, our relationships, and our civilization.
-Bettina Arndt, Social commentator and men's issues advocate
If you've ever heard claims about women's rights or feminism and thought, this doesn't sound right, but didn't quite know how to refute them, this book does it for you. Fiamengo goes through it all with depth and precision, exposing the arguments at their core and showing exactly where they fail. What sets this book apart, though, is not only its rigor, but its laugh-aloud wit and its recovery of something that has been lost. We are reminded that relations between men and women were not always framed as conflict. There was once care, loyalty, and a genuine regard for one another. This is a necessary book, a step toward setting things right and a reminder, a hope, that we may yet get there again.
