Explains that in the past 30-40 years, even though women have gained more rights and opportunities, overall, they've become more unhappy. And urges women to save themselves and once again find their femininity in marriage and motherhood.

That “Feminism” is nothing more than “the female left,” driven to impose a liberal/radical agenda on families, businesses and other institutions.
Quote:
...the feminist promise that women could be just like men and enjoy everything men typically do — like casual sex, long hours at work, less family time — proved empty. Heartache, broken relationships, failed marriages, sexually transmitted diseases, abortion, and skyrocketing rates of emotionally wounded children have been the real legacy of feminism. It turns out — no surprise — that human nature cannot be repealed, overturned by judicial fiat, or reshaped by media messages.
So, basically, the authors are saying that the feminist movement has caused American society to become psychologically disordered. This deeply mirrors the 1947 best-seller book, The Modern Women: The Lost Sex which led American society in the 1950s to view feminism as a kind of a mental illness.
"that contemporary women in very large numbers are psychologically disordered"; that the feminist movement rested "on a bedrock foundation of hatred" every bit as nasty as that of the Nazis; that persons who voluntarily refused to bear children were mentally disordered; that feminist arguments about a long history of the male oppression of women were nonsense; that feminism was, at its core, "a deep illness," a bundle of neuroses driven by the impossible goal of "the achievement of maleness by the female"; and that the woman’s movement gave energy to "the slaughter of the innocents," seen in growing contraceptive use and rising levels of infanticide, abortion, and child abandonment.
What do you think? Do you agree that women have lost their femininity and should backlash against the feminists' ideals?

I think women should do whatever they want. I'm sure there are some who are content to be stay at home moms and homemakers, and if that's the life they choose, more power to them! I think that can be an awesome thing.
But it's not what every person wants, nor is it within every person's grasp.
I don't like children, I have no desire to get married and I definitely don't think my femininity is tied directly to being barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen.
Some women want to be a housewife and I think that's great... my own Mother was a fantastic SAHM and I'm glad she took that path, but it's simply not for me and I'm glad that I'm not relegated to it due to my 'plumbing'.
How is this a troll thread? I'm only posting about this book to see what you guys thought about it. The authors wrote this book, not me.
OK, as a very old believer that all HUMANS should be treated equally....
There has always been , and always will be, men who hate(fear) women. It's a mental illness to hate half the world. They seem to think that subjugating women to the role of slave and breeding animal raises them up above women....it is the ONLY way they can feel superior.....
Intelligent women don't care what those sickies think....as long as they don't try to push their hate agenda into laws.
Well, the authors that wrote this book were/are both women.
I've heard that many women in countries like Saudi Arabia where they are restricted from doing a lot of things men can do, when surveyed, say that their personal lives are very happy, and don't particularly want radical change.
Who's to decide who speaks for all women/men?
