The Politically Incorrect Guide to Women, Sex and Feminism by Carrie Lukas
(From Human Events) -- For the past forty years, feminists have sought aggressively to remake the role of women in society -- badgering women to steer clear of traditional marriages, work full-time while striving to become CEOs, and put off having children. To further this agenda, feminists and their allies in government, media, and our educational system have put forth a number of dangerous myths about women -- while successfully suppressing evidence of the important inborn differences between the sexes. Now, The Politically Incorrect Guide to Women, Sex, and Feminism exposes the most common and destructive of these myths, and takes on taboo areas of research not discussed in the politically correct world of academia and popular culture.

"For too long, the feminist movement has dictated what's appropriate to talk about -- and what's off-limits -- when it comes to issues affecting women's lives," writes author Carrie Lukas. "An ethic of silence has surrounded issues like the negative sides of casual sex, the relationship between age and infertility, and the effects of daycare and divorce on kids. This silence has real consequences for women, their families, and our society. This book fills the knowledge gap by highlighting research in areas of critical importance to women's lives -- from sex, love, and marriage to work, daycare, and divorce. It exposes how the feminist vision of what women should want their lives to be often runs counter to the hopes and desires of actual women."

"A whole generation of "liberated" women has been kept in the dark by feminists in the schools, universities, and media. Carrie Lukas exposes the damage these ideologues have wreaked and gives young women the chance to make truly informed decisions about their own lives. It's the advice your mother should have given you but may have been afraid to." -- Linda Chavez, author of An Unlikely Conservative: The Transformation of an Ex-Liberal

"A lively, well-written and well-researched antidote to feminist agitprop from an author who is authentically pro-women. This book is a must read for those who care about the next generation of young women." -- Kate O'Beirne, Washington Editor, National Review, author of Women Who Make the World Worse
