Inhaltsangabe
Author of the New York Times best seller Useful Idiots and popular columnist Mona Charen takes a close, reasoned look at the aggressive feminist agenda undermining the success and happiness of men and women across the country.
In this smart, deeply necessary critique, Mona Charen unpacks the ways feminism fails us at home, in the workplace, and in our personal relationships - by promising that we can have it all, do it all, and be it all. Here, she upends the feminist agenda and the liberal conversation surrounding women's issues by asking tough and crucial questions, such as:
- Did women's full equality require the total destruction of the nuclear family?
- Did it require a sexual revolution that would dismantle traditions of modesty, courtship, and fidelity that had characterized relations between the sexes for centuries?
- Did it cause the broken dating culture and the rape crisis on our college campuses?
- Did it require war between the sexes that would deem men the "enemy" of women?
- Have the strides of feminism made women happier in their home and work life. (The answer is no.)
Sex Matters tracks the price we have paid for denying sex differences and stoking the war of the sexes - family breakdown, declining female happiness, aimlessness among men, and increasing inequality. Marshaling copious social science research as well as her own experience as a professional as well as a wife and mother, Mona Charen calls for a sexual ceasefire for the sake of women, men, and children.
Kritikerstimmen
"Mona Charen has written a book that matters. Honest, fearless, and insightful, it's a polemic that's more than a polemic. It's a thought-provoking attempt to induce those willing to liberate themselves from contemporary pieties to think anew about the family, about equality, and about the nature of men and women." (William Kristol, editor at large, The Weekly Standard)
“An honest book on a crucial subject by a wonderful writer. Her book will be widely praised and widely attacked. Even the attackers, somewhere within themselves, will know it’s true. This is a book that deals in reality.” (Jay Nordlinger, senior editor, National Review)
“Sex Matters is a cultural milestone. Mona Charen dissolves decades of fallacies in the acid of honesty. I found this book thrilling.” (George Gilder, author of Life After Google and Men and Marriage)

Can’t finish it
There are better reviews on goodreads than I can muster, but I’ll give a quick outline of my experience. Having listened to the first hour of this book, it was clear to me that Charen’s politics are widely different to my own. I’m one for learning and balance and pushed through a little longer, only to be disappointed in her total discreditation of modern feminism. As I see and experience it, feminism is not solely a political issue, yet Charen drives this narrative home with her examples whilst disregarding how the patriarchy is to this day, systemically excluding women from equal pay, opportunity and lifestyle. While she is no doubt a good writer and makes some good points, Charen still sounds exasperated by whiney women who don’t know how good they have it! If I wanted to listen to how to stay divided and not solve some of the deep rooted discrimination that women are faced with, I’d go back to my hometown and listen to the future-fearful, closed minded, bitter men who I know strike up conversations on the topic just for kicks. I have read many other books that present actual ways to address the problem and inspire men and women alike to do just that. This book’s intent seems to be to drive the wedge further and “ain’t nobody got time for that”! I’m off to find something more pleasant and useful to listen to.
