American society has become anti-male. Men are sensing the backlash and are consciously and unconsciously going “on strike.” They are dropping out of college, leaving the workforce and avoiding marriage and fatherhood at alarming rates. The trend is so pronounced that a number of books have been written about this “man-child” phenomenon, concluding that men have taken a vacation from responsibility simply because they can. But why should men participate in a system that seems to be increasingly stacked against them?

As Men on Strike demonstrates, men aren’t dropping out because they are stuck in arrested development. They are instead acting rationally in response to the lack of incentives society offers them to be responsible fathers, husbands and providers. In addition, men are going on strike, either consciously or unconsciously, because they do not want to be injured by the myriad of laws, attitudes and hostility against them for the crime of happening to be male in the twenty-first century. Men are starting to fight back against the backlash. Men on Strike explains their battle cry.

Highly Recommended Book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 August 2019

Verified Purchase

I have experienced many of the points highlighted in this book. It gives readers real insight into the dark side of modern day feminism and how men are responding.

Helen Smith breaks down her points really well and really delves deeply into issues which are of great concern in modern day relationships.

Her main point about the Marriage contract no longer being a good deal for Men is supported really well with good examples of how divorces can be pre-planned.

This book has definitely been one of the most influential books I have ever read on relationships.

I would certainly recommend this book to people who want a greater understanding of relationships I would also like to stress the point that not every woman is the same and there are many positive relationships out there to be had.

Excellent. If you are interest in rreal sexual equality you should read this.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 February 2016

Verified Purchase

Excellent read. Why are men on strike? Because they are now second class human beings. The source of little but hate, and witness to endless humiliation. Blamed on all violence and most of societies/planets ills (Proven to be completely untrue) Stripped of any rights to do anything other than to work is sexual stereotypical dirty dangerous jobs or 'feminised' emasculating jobs that females don't currently want or to face unemployment and 'dead beat' status. Forced into marriage where they are 'stupid children' with no rights to their own children, home or income if they are put through a divorce. Why are men striking - for the game is so corrupt and unfair they just no longer want to play and see work, romance, marriage and children as a risk so great they just opt out of the system. The question - why are their no good men left anymore - is roundly answered with - because no females currently deserve one. This book is about equality and not some twisted sexist female sows version of it. Proper equality where males and females are - as best as they can be - equal. Well written and researched and jaw dropingly obvious. great read.

An intelligent, articulate

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 November 2015

Verified Purchase

The main draw to this book was the fact that it's written by a woman. An intelligent, articulate, informed woman, and arguably the best person to see just how skewiff the whole equality thing has become. Men bemoaning men's problem's is sadly never going to be noticed – a request for a Minister for Men was recently laughed out of the UK parliament – so women becoming switched-on to real gender equality, not female privilege at the expense of men, is the way forward. I just wish this book was at the top of the sales charts, instead of some dopey Z-list celebrity biography.

I'd highly recommend Men On Strike to anyone looking for clarity on any aspect of equality today. Men and women. For any man recovering from separation, divorce, an abusive relationship etc. it's essential reading. Buy it now, and when you've read it, pass it on.

PS. Check out Helen Smith on YouTube too. You won't be disappointed.

Men are screwed, but may be helped with this book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 November 2016

Verified Purchase

A well-written, depressing account of how bad things are for men, both legally and socially. I hope that this will encourage more people to red pill themselves, and see feminism for the poison that it is.

Good insight on feminism’s effect on men’s’ lives

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 July 2020

Verified Purchase

I found the book insightful with evocative and, occasionally troubling anecdotes, which made me angry with how badly decent men are being treated. However it didn’t seem as if the author could relate to men’s thoughts in spite of her career as a psychologist so her tone had this sense of detachment. This does allow for a clinical approach and some good recommendations for action as that is what is required.

A good book - and a worthwhile companion to books such as the Rational Male and the Manipulated Man.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 May 2018

Verified Purchase

I can only add to what other readers of this book have said and say that it's incredibly good-to-know that at least one woman has woken up to the idea that in modern society the odds are stacked against men. While it doesn't expand too much on things I already know, I can say that this is still a book worth reading, and Helen Smith should be commended for writing it.

Well worth reading

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 February 2015

Verified Purchase

Smith offers a useful contribution to the gender-equality debate. It’s a straightforward read and so particularly suitable for anyone who is addressing issues of misandry for the first time. Although the book doesn’t attempt the historical context of a book like Creveld’s ‘The Privileged Sex’ or the political breadth of a book like JP Tate’s ‘Feminism is Sexism’, it is helpful to have an accessible (and well-publicised) book like ‘Men on Strike’ in the growing body of work on misandry and gender-equality. Certainly recommended.

Treading the tight rope of politically correctness with aplomb

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 April 2019

Verified Purchase

In depth research and reasoned balanced debate make this book a very valuable starting point from which to grow the society of geniune balance which we so desperately need today. The radical left feminist ideology is crashing onto the rocks where it belongs...men just need to keep their heads up and keep moving forwards. Which is what real men have done forever anyway. Those men who play the political game of group identity will only end up sad and with the piss rightly being abstracted.
