I'm reading this book at the moment. It's fascinating and challenging in the best way possible, but I can't help but think that it is very outdated.
Vilar proposes that men are essentially hard-working servants who voluntarily debase themselves for the sake of lazy, stupid women. But at a time when women out-earn men, graduate more often from college etc, are expected to contribute half to expenses etc, I can't help but feel her argument has been weakened by cultural and societal changes since the time of publication.
The religion chapter also seems very flimsy, as she seems to basically assert that religion was founded by women who then tricked male religious figures (priests etc) into forcing men to serve women.
