![]() ![]() ![]() One of the strengths of this book is Vilar's ability to challenge readers to think critically about their own assumptions and beliefs about gender roles. ![]() This dynamic, Vilar argues, is not only damaging to men, but also perpetuates gender inequality and stifles the development of healthy, equal relationships. Women, in turn, are taught to exploit this dependency by playing the role of helpless and submissive creatures, encouraging men to serve their every whim. Vilar argues that men are raised to be obedient and self-sacrificing, believing that they must provide and protect women at all costs. Originally published in 1971, the book still holds relevance today as it offers a critical analysis of how men are socially conditioned to be manipulated by women and society at large. "The Manipulated Men" by Esther Vilar is a controversial and thought-provoking book that challenges conventional gender roles and expectations. ![]()
