Forty years have passed since the so-called women's movement claimed to liberate women from preconceived notions of what it means to be female—and the results are in. The latest statistics show that as women have gained more freedom, more education, and more power, they have become less happy. In The Flipside of Feminism, Suzanne Venker and Phyllis Schlafly provide readers with a new view of women in America—casting off the ideology that preaches faux empowerment and liberation from men and marriage.

Their confident and rational approach to the battle of the sexes is precisely what America needs.

He takes the job, not because it’s the one he really wanted but because Anna is pregnant and

As feminists began to denigrate the traditional female role and suggest housewives lacked sexual freedom, the notion of married sex became passé, and free love became the custom of the land. Today, sex is a free-for-all. It no longer carries with it an element of privacy or significance. The results of this transformation are set forth
beliefs as Ben, but many suffer in silence with the consequences of the feminist movement. By making men financially and biologically unnecessary, and by being dismissive of their needs and goals, men feel depleted—and some, like Ben, reject marriage altogether. That isn’t the answer, of course—particularly if men have, or want to have, children.
