Is 'The Manipulated Man' by Esther Vilar being censored?

Is it being withheld because for an ideological reason? If so, who is behind it?

Yes, it goes against the agenda.

Feminism was getting nowhere until people like the Rockefellers funded and promoted it.

Getting women into the workforce almost doubled the available workforce which put enormous downward pressure on wages and created more consumer spending thus more profits. The Useful Idiots of Feminism deliver other benefits for the elite as well like, helping to keep us squabbling so we don't notice what they're doing. It's only about Money & Control.

Search for: "How the Rockefellers re-engineered women."

Here you go ... full human narration of the book ... in English.

You can buy it on Apple Books.

Probably one of the best men’s rights books of all time.

It is a fairly old book with few editions. So it is best to search through different bookstores and regular sellers on different platforms.

Here in Spain, the cheapest book can cost $70, and it is old, second-hand and in dubious condition.

Because only women can be manipulated, as evidenced by "The Manipulated Man" disappearing.

Only by Amazon.

There's a reading of it on YouTube

Yes, Amazon pulled it about four years ago, presumably under pressure from activists, likely internal as well as external. eBay, up until about a year ago also pulled listings of the book (though listings would get through the algorithm here and there at inflated rates until they got reported or sold), but you can buy the most recent English language edition there now.

Edit: this microtopic fascinates me, because I bought the book in 2017 from Amazon, and the fact that sometime around 2020, there was an immensely successful, if surreptitious, effort by unknown parties to convince US-based online retailers, many of whom carry libraries worth of far right and far left screeds, to stop selling a historically noteworthy essay on gender relations, is something that feels significant. A search for “the manipulated man” on Amazon now brings up several books of dubious value warning women about manipulative men, which, of course, likely provides insight into the ideological beliefs of the people who got Ms Vilar’s book crypto-banned.

Sounds like you need to pirate it or get a VPN with English subtitles. This book sounds like a dated safety book that prevents accidents and avoid trouble.

Since, the legal one ain't available (Except in Germany).

I wouldn't be surprised- but then, look at where you're looking. A book spreading unpopular ideas is likely to find the giant outlets refusing to carry it.

The same is true of a book spreading hate (or at least politically unpopular kinds of hate), and make no mistake, there IS hate in that book. If you read it, I implore you, pause it occasionally, and go hug a woman who means something positive to you. Esther REALLY took the darkness of her message to heart, and made the worst possible interpretations of a lot of the negative things women do.

Anger is a natural reaction, and not a bad one, but find positive outlets and ways to fix these problems; don't let it become hate. We have more than enough of that already.

It’s more than 50 years old and originally written in German. How many translated German non-fiction books that old, but still under copyright, are getting republished or turned into English audio books?
There’s no conspiracy, the original print version is rare and sells for a lot of money, and there’s not enough interest to pay for a reprint or a reader to record an English audiobook.

You can easily find an ebook version although most are probably copyright violations. It’s not that interesting though unless you just want to read insults about women (it’s pretty gratuitous). It’s based on 50s style relationships between men and women and therefore not that relevant to most people today. You’d be better off reading one of the authors more recent books.
