‘Dehumanizing the male’. Book review. Book by Daniel Jimenez; review by Pablo Malo (psychiatrist). From 2020 but seems just as relevant today. “It is a rigorous book, with references to support all statements”. I haven’t read the book but found the review interesting.

Extract: “In contrast, traditionally, men don’t demand protection. The woman who demands protection doesn’t lose her femininity, but the man who asks for it does damage his reputation as a man in the eyes of society, who perceive him as less than a man (in the case of traditionalism) or as a privileged person who pretends to be a victim and has no right to complain (in the case of feminism). Men do not demand protection, men protect others and especially themselves. A man who is not able to protect himself is simply regarded as not being man enough.”

Among anti-feminist influencers in spain, this book is practically sacred and always recommended. It's a pity that it receives so little attention.

Extract: “3-Limiting male problems to purely internal issues based on gender roles. Males suffer social pressures to prevent expressing their feelings and they are constrained by their role as providers and protectors, but all they have to do to solve their problems is to change their attitude, learn how to communicate better and ask for help. This approach is present, for example, in the subject of suicide. The discussion of female suicide tends to be focus on external factors: the living conditions of women, the stress they endure, etc. When talking about male suicide, on the other hand, the main focus is on internal factors: men don’t cry, they have to be tough, they can’t ask for help, etc. Why is it not possible to conceive that perhaps men commit suicide at higher rates because they have harsh and stressful living conditions that turn their lives into hell?”

The book seems to be only available to purchase in Spanish, though, but it sounds very interesting, thank you for sharing.

Is higher social status= higher end jobs? Because in a slave economy there still needs to be superiors and subordinates...
