"Why Women Deserve Less" by Myron Gaines vs the History of Marriage

Read the companion article on Female Rage and Making Nice on Substack: https://s0wets0dry.substack.com/p/female-rage-and-making-niceWelcome to episode 2 of my Manosphere series! In this episode, we fact-check Myron Gaines new book “Why Women Deserve Less” against the actual history of marriage. Through research from Stephanie Coontz’ “Marriage, A History,” Angela Davis’ “Women, Race & Class,” and personal anecdotes from “This American Ex-Wife” by Lyz Lenz, we trace a much darker history of heterosexual relationships and gender roles than the “Old Contract” that Myron romanticizes.Despite Myron’s attempts to dodge accusations of misogyny by pushing a narrative of male self-help advice, his book Why Women Deserve Less relies on the red pill’s strict gender role beliefs that dehumanize women and encourage abusive tactics found in the domestic violence Wheel of Power and Control. My review of Myron Gaines’ Why Women Deserve Less argues that he romanticizes the very sexist, misogynistic, and white supremacist history of heterosexual marriage and encourages men to avoid romantic relations with women unless the codes of the past are strictly reinforced. If you are experiencing domestic violence, you are not alone.

I promise you, life gets so, so, so much better on the other side, and I am so excited for you to meet a version of yourself that spends her days as she wishes and with a calm nervous system.
