Of Lies and woMen: Could society survive emancipation of its women? Is patriarchy inevitable?

Of Lies and woMen is a deliberately controversial polemic, sharpened with barbed irony. It is not neutral social science but satire and parody - a transformative critique of modern gender politics that doubles as a set of mock blueprints for civilizational triage. Through caricature, hyperbole, invented scenarios, and a deliberately provocative voice, it dismantles what it calls feminism's sacred myths, probing the psychology of deception, manipulation, social engineering, unhappiness, and desperation beneath the rhetoric of "liberation".

In satirical terms, the book argues that Western civilization - and those cultures that have adopted its operating system - is drifting toward collapse because of choices paraded as emancipation yet corrosive to survival. It lampoons the "lies of equality", highlights impulses it characterizes as destructive, revisits episodes it frames as failures of female rule, and dares to suggest that emancipation itself inevitably spells doom. It also insists that men are ultimately culpable, for they permitted these dynamics to take hold and indulged the very illusions now imperiling society, culture, and civilization.

Most pointedly, it meticulously diagnoses the problem and stages taboo-breaking rescue plans - half parody, half provocation - that propose a radical realignment of society with biological imperatives and our evolved psychological condition. These are offered not as prescriptions but as thought experiments and transformative commentary, voiced in the satirist's register as improbable yet imaginative ways to save the West (and its adopters) from the cliff's edge.

About the Author

Born in Europe and long resident in the United States, he was trained as an engineer and applies a systems-oriented, rational lens to cultural critique. Satire is his chosen tool for exposing assumptions and testing ideas. Though this is his first book, his background equips him to challenge received wisdom with precision and sharp logic.
