probably a good idea to go on amazon, look up authors that have written on this topic (erin pizzey, esther vilar, christina hoff sommers, etc), and find similar recommendations on those pages that were released after 2012.

haven't read this, but just found it using that criteira - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00E5HER5I/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1

Exactly. I've read a few of Sommers' books. She's an accredited authority with real sources (eg, US Dept. of Labor reports vs the $.70 to $1 claim). She's a feminist from the second wave, with high credentials. Her opponents are railing teens. When I first read Freedom Feminism I thought: Finally! Evidence and reason, an embracing of real feminism and a clear path forward. Radfems will attack obvious targets (#Gamergate) to expose misogyny for gain, but if they try to target such a reasonable authority as Sommers, the outcome will be actual education on their part.

I was mistaken. They don't care about facts, logic, or reason. They're impervious to such things. I'm losing hope, I really am - the uneducated are getting press all over the web, and on sites I'd previously respected; while educated authorities like Sommers are getting burned at the stake. Idiocracy, thou prophet.

(Incidentally, my favorite of hers is One Nation Under Therapy)
