Disposable Women and Other Myths of Global Capitalism
Author: Melissa Wright
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1136081542
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 198
Book Description
Everyday, around the world, women who work in the Third World factories of global firms face the idea that they are disposable. Melissa W. Wright explains how this notion proliferates, both within and beyond factory walls, through the telling of a simple story: the myth of the disposable Third World woman. This myth explains how young women workers around the world eventually turn into living forms of waste. Disposable Women and Other Myths of Global Capitalism follows this myth inside the global factories and surrounding cities in northern Mexico and in southern China, illustrating the crucial role the tale plays in maintaining not just the constant flow of global capital, but the present regime of transnational capitalism. The author also investigates how women challenge the story and its meaning for workers in global firms. These innovative responses illustrate how a politics for confronting global capitalism must include the many creative ways that working people resist its dehumanizing effects.

Is There Anything Good About Men?
Author: Roy F. Baumeister
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0199705917
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 317
Book Description
Have men really been engaged in a centuries-old conspiracy to exploit and oppress women? Have the essential differences between men and women really been erased? Have men now become unnecessary? Are they good for anything at all? In Is There Anything Good About Men?, Roy Baumeister offers provocative answers to these and many other questions about the current state of manhood in America. Baumeister argues that relations between men and women are now and have always been more cooperative than antagonistic, that men and women are different in basic ways, and that successful cultures capitalize on these differences to outperform rival cultures. Amongst our ancestors---as with many other species--only the alpha males were able to reproduce, leading them to take more risks and to exhibit more aggressive and protective behaviors than women, whose evolutionary strategies required a different set of behaviors. Whereas women favor and excel at one-to-one intimate relationships, men compete with one another and build larger organizations and social networks from which culture grows. But cultures in turn exploit men by insisting that their role is to achieve and produce, to provide for others, and if necessary to sacrifice themselves. Baumeister shows that while men have greatly benefited from the culture they have created, they have also suffered because of it. Men may dominate the upper echelons of business and politics, but far more men than women die in work-related accidents, are incarcerated, or are killed in battle--facts nearly always left out of current gender debates. Engagingly written, brilliantly argued, and based on evidence from a wide range of disciplines, Is There Anything Good About Men? offers a new and far more balanced view of gender relations.

Pages : 200
Book Description
Imagine a world where boys are taught from an early age to ignore their own needs and to serve women and girls. Now imagine that girls are also taught that they are princesses and that men are there to serve them. This is not fantasy, you are living in that world. The evidence is all around you, but you fail to acknowledge it, simply because you have been programmed not to recognize it.I'll be honest here, I am not a writer. This is my first book and I wrote it simply because I felt it needed to be written. It was not written for men that have gone Mgtow (although it may be useful to them). It was written for every man that wishes to avoid being used by a society that sees them as a disposable resource to be used and then thrown away. It will help men to avoid the pitfalls and enjoy the rewards of their labor rather than hemorrhage money and possessions to a bunch of greedy parasites.I have spent the last three years putting this book together, writing, rewriting and trying to ensure that I cover everything I think is necessary. In that time a number of other books on the subject have been published. I don't know if they are better (I haven't read them). I only know that I couldn't publish earlier as this book wasn't finished. Now that it is complete, I hope it will enhance your life in ways you could never conceive.

Book Description
The #1 bestselling pioneer of "fratire" and a leading evolutionary psychologist team up to create the dating book for guys. Whether they conducted their research in life or in the lab, experts Tucker Max and Dr. Geoffrey Miller have spent the last 20+ years learning what women really want from their men, why they want it, and how men can deliver those qualities. The short answer: become the best version of yourself possible, then show it off. It sounds simple, but it's not. If it were, Tinder would just be the stuff you use to start a fire. Becoming your best self requires honesty, self-awareness, hard work and a little help. Through their website and podcasts, Max and Miller have already helped over one million guys take their first steps toward Ms. Right. They have collected all of their findings in Mate, an evidence-driven, seriously funny playbook that will teach you to become a more sexually attractive and romantically successful man, the right way: No "seduction techniques," No moralizing, No bullshit. Just honest, straightforward talk about the most ethical, effective way to pursue the win-win relationships you want with the women who are best for you. Much of what they've discovered will surprise you, some of it will not, but all of it is important and often misunderstood. So listen up, and stop being stupid!

Why Men Rule

Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 280
Book Description
The first edition of this book was lavishly praised by many authorities as the most formidable demonstration of an unpopular truth: males rule in all societies known to history or anthropology, for reasons arising from innate physiology, a brute fact that can never be conjured away by tinkering with social institutions. This new edition has been completely rewritten in the light of two decades of scholarship and debate, taking account of all published criticisms of earlier editions.
