Sexo Privilegiado

by Martin van Creveld

Em 'Sexo privilegiado', Martin Van Creveld defende a tese em que as mulheres, e não os homens, são o gênero privilegiado ao longo da história. Desde a desmistificação da suposta opressão dos gregos às mulheres até os dados mais recentes sobre longevidade e qualidade de vida, sem esquecer a Santa Inquisição ou as guerras, todo o livro é uma coleção de exemplos de privilégios femininos - numa desigualdade que só perdurou, na visão do autor, porque a eles correspondiam os direitos que foram exclusivos dos homens ao longo da história.
