Male Chauvinism! How It Works And How To Get Free Of It

by Michael Korda

Michael Korda writes brilliantly and irreverently about what male chauvinism means, why men act the way they do toward women in business, marriage and sex--ways men are finally being asked to, forced to, abandon. He includes discussions with successful women such as Barbara Walters and Helen Gurley Brown. "Here, with unflinching candor, rapier wit, factual case histories, Michael Korda strips bare the means by which American men put down, illuse, dominate American women." --Irving Wallace

I am very skeptical when I see words such as "feminism" and "chauvinism" written in bold fonts...it is very eerie for me. This book is actually impactful..it sure WAS 50 years ago that is. It was written during the 1970s within corporate America. The stories, analyses, and quotes are very well-put and they do support one major point which is: Male chauvinism is everywhere!
No denying that here...no doubt about that for sure. However, when a 21st C. reader reads this book and who has the impulses of virtue-signaling and finger-pointing, a certain difficulty will arise, simply because women's status overall in the workplace and society in the West is far better than it was. This discrepancy eliminates today's fake feminist proclivity to play the victim, for this book shows how far they have come. It is a celebration rather than an I-told-you-so kind of archival document.
Perhaps the 3rd world women should have a say in this instead of corporate cougars?!
