Save the Males: Why Men Matter Why Women Should Care

An Interesting Argument

I found this book interesting to read. Some of the arguaments I have heard before some where new to me. I think this books adds to the male female argument that is taking place in our culture now but isn't by any means the last statement.

Men and women both should read this

Men and women both should read this, especially if they've noticed how badly men are portrayed in movies and on television. Women need men, and children need their fathers.

BUY THIS BOOK

Kathleen Parker is one of the country's best writers and reporters. She's brings a passion to her work, which, lately, has included writing about men and family issues in her very popular syndicated newspaper column. Anyone who is bringing up a son -- father or mother -- should read this book. Any woman who has loved one who happens to be a man or a boy should also read this book. It's fantastic.

A reviewer

I read this book in early galley and I've read it since it's published -- it will enrich your love and honor for your husband, father, brother, uncle, male friends. It will alarm you -- but it will alarm you with the clever, delightful hand of a woman who loves men. Buy the book. Buy one for a man you love, as an act of solidarity. Buy one for a feminist in your wife -- there's always time for her to see the light.

Thought provoking and Hilarious

I came upon SAVE THE MALES at a local bookstore and found the idea of a woman writing a book in defense of men so novel that I bought it, and read it in one sitting. The book is basically a series of fast-paced, sometimes-hilarious essays that examine the way America has veered a little to the womanist side in education and popular culture, and how our men and boys have been short-changed in the process. I am a woman and have three daughters and was frankly surprised at how true Parker's argument rang. She isn't advocating the return of tribal patriarchy, but presents a dry, even-handed appraisal of a society that has become grid-locked in wrong thinking - thinking that one day might have a hugely negative impact on our country and our lives. The subtitle of the book reads: why women should care, and I have to honestly say that after reading the book, I really did care. Oh, and husband read it after me, and if he wrote a review, it would be ten stars...
