"Report Abuse" hit the button and give a concise explanation, here's mine:

"This is a activist attack on the author by people who clearly never read the book. I see 3 one star reviews in 3 consecutive days. That's highly suspicious and they should be deleted."

There were 3 on 3 consecutive days but a fourth was a few days earlier. The more people who report abuse the more likely someone will do something about it. The don't want the system gamed anymore than we do.

Don't waste your money to stroke this misogynist's ego.

He's focusing on male issues so it has to be hatred against women but a groups focusing on women's issue isn't hatred.

The irony.

I'd say brigading. I would also think they are not only attacking Warren Farrell but other great authors of the genre. Indeed, I'm surprised the feminazi have not done this eariler.

Farrell repeatedly suggests that male power can be undone almost completely by the sexual power of women.

But this is not a zero sum game for you, is it?

It's time to write a book with the title "Myth of Female Power" and stuff it with nonsense, see if the same group of reviewers will praise it or not

How can I buy this to show my support with $?

chmbrs · 2014-03-15T00:18:08+00:00

I just bought the book.

DanRicho · 2014-03-14T23:39:21+00:00

Would love to buy and read this book, but I'm getting "not currently available" from both my Amazon and Book Depository (UK) accounts and searches. It's either very popular at the moment (out of stock) or withdrawn from sale.

chillmonkey88 · 2014-03-15T10:44:53+00:00

With out even reading anything about I needed to buy it... ☆ - sexist to both genders, author is a creep (LOOL!) ☆☆☆☆☆ - well written work in a great way of what changed in the last 30 years... with such polarizing reviews it was bought on that premise alone. idk about you guys but I love male psychology with a splash of history and how it relates to social dynamics... excited to dive in

I wonder how you guys would like Manboobz thought on his book

And since then there have been several 5 star votes.

People are rating this book based on their ideology, both sides are, especially now that it has been linked here.

There is no way around this, we're just gonna have to accept that that's the nature of voting.

flatulentunicorn · 2014-03-14T18:08:05+00:00

I'm going to buy this book.

GuruLand · 2014-03-14T18:29:36+00:00

And also guys make some reviews yourselves, nothing better than making a new review and reporting the others.

SomeGuy58439 · 2014-03-15T08:58:29+00:00

More interesting to me than that is the existence of a new edition (Feb 2014). For anyone who's bought it are there any major edits? (I see a personal foreword in the Kindle preview mentioning how society has changed, but have there been any corrections or modifications to the text of the book beyond this).

I tend to compulsively fact-check things - I seem to remember the one big issue I found reading the book was his claims as to the existence of a female serial killer targeting exclusively male victims - that claim seemed a dubious when investigated further. (That said I think I may have seen a case better fitting that description that since the book's original publication).

Dronelisk · 2014-03-14T16:55:53+00:00

guys do not write reviews about this book even if you read it and actually have understanding of it, you'll get shadowbanned from reddit and banned from amazon.

ZimbaZumba · 2014-03-14T14:00:31+00:00

... 7 reviews, total, is hardly a brigade. Though this could easily be seen as an attempt to call attention to one of your own.
