"The Manipulated Man" by Esther Vilar, first published in 1971, is another eye-opening literature on how radically far away modernity is from nature. The author argues how all of modern activities in today's life is to feed the comforts of women at the expense of men. She says this begins from a childhood where a mother draws a square around a baby, repeatedly, denouncing good and bad behaviors, and what is virtue and what is sin. This is an act that comes from fear, as when a boy grows into manhood, only the conditions he's grown to will stop him from acting in harm to himself, the people around him, and his community. What I might take away from this book was the emphasis of education. I went to university and I remember at the entrance campus, it wrote, "The truth shall set you free."

I've also had the luxury to be around very bright people of both sexes - this book simply creates a framework around economic dynamics between the two, its not the end all be all truth.

This book is banned in many circles, read at your own caution.

In summary, she argues man is a working machine.

Here are some quotes from the book:

"A man who changes his way of life or rather his profession for life and profession are synonymous to him is considered unreliable. If he does it more than once, he becomes a social outcast and remains alone."

"Of course, one might say that a man who has lost his capacity of earning money is automatically freed from his burden and should be glad about this happy ending, but freedom is the last thing he wants, his function as we shall see according to the principles of pleasure is in non-freedom. To be sentenced to lifelong freedom is a worse fate than lifelong slavery. To put in another way, man is always searching for someone or something to enslave him, for only as a slave, does he feel secure, and as a rule, his choice falls on a woman."

"Life offers the human being 2 choices, animal existence, a lower order of life, and spiritual existence, in general, a woman will choose the former, and opt for physical well-being, a place to breed, and an opportunity to indulge unhindered in her breeding heavens. At birth, men and women have the same intellectual potential. There is no primarily difference in intelligence between the sexes."

"It is also a fact of potential left to stagnate will entropy. Women do not use their mental capacity They deliberately let it disintegrate. After a few years of sporadic training, they revert to the state of irreversible mental torpor."

"Why do women not make use of their intellectual potential? For the simple reason that they do not need to. It is not essential for their survival. Theoretically, it is possible for a beautiful woman to have less intelligence than a chimpanzee and still be considered an acceptable member of society."

"By the age of 12, at least, most women have decided to become prostitutes, or to put it another way. They have planned a future for themselves, which consists of choosing a man and letting him do the work, all the work. When a man sees a woman spending hours cooking, washing dishes, and cleaning, it never occurs to him that such jobs probably make her quite happy, since they are exactly at her mental level. Instead, he assumes that this drudgery prevents her from doing all those things which he himself considers worthwhile and desirable."

"It is true that men love women, but they also despise them. Anyone who gets up in the morning fresh and ready to conquer new worlds with frequent success admittedly because he has to earn a living is bound to despise someone who simply isn't interested in such pursuits. Contempt may even be one of the main reasons for his efforts to further the mental development of a woman. He feels ashamed of her and assumes that she, too, must be ashamed of herself. So being a gentleman, he tries to help."

"There is one great advantage which women have over men, they have a choice, a choice between the life of a man and the life of a dim witted parasitic luxury item. There are too few women who would not select the latter. Men do not have this choice."

"Women feel anything but oppressed by men, on the contrary, on one of the many depressing truths about the relationship between the sexes is simply that men hardly exist in a women's world. Man is not even powerful enough to revolt against women's dependence on him is only material of a physical nature, something like a tourist, depend on an airline, a cafe preparator on his espresso machine, a car, is on gasoline, a television set on electric current. Of course, women will always be pleased if a man turns to look at her and if she is well dressed or drives an expensive sports car so much the better."

"Her pleasures may be compared to that of a shareholder who finds that his stocks have risen. Yes, only women exists in a woman's world. The woman she meets at church, at parent teacher meetings or in the supermarket, the woman with whom she chats over, the garden fence, the woman at parties or window shopping, and the more fashionable streets knows she apparently never seems to notice. These women are the measure of her success or failure. Women's standards correspond to those in other women's heads, not in those in the heads of men. It is their judgment that really counts not those of men."

"A simple word of praise from another woman, and all those clumsy inadequate male compliments fall by the way side, for they are just praises out of the mouths of amateurs. Women are in contrast to men, practically immune to the looks of the opposite sex. If a woman flirts with her husband's best friends, her intentions to annoy his wife, whose feelings do matter, unlike those of her husband. If she fell deeply about the man in question, she would never show her emotions in public."

"It is lucky for adult women that men do not consider themselves beautiful, since most men are beautiful. Of all the qualities of man, his curiosity is certainly the most impressive. This curiosity differs basically from that of women. At that moment, man would be delighted to cease all activity, but because he is a man and is a man's destiny to act, he belongs to, begins to long for the rules of his childhood to long for someone who will test, tell him what to do, to give meaning to his now meaningless actions, these actions are meaningless because they serve his comfort. But what does he serve? At this point, he will search for the new deity, one to take a place in his, of his mother, the deity of his childhood, the moment he finds her, he becomes her objective, abject slave."

While intelligence shows itself in actions that are reasonable and logical, hence permits measurements, predictability, and control, stupidity shows itself in actions that are completely unreasonable, unpredictable, and uncontrollable.

"If he treats women as a superior being, she will become a superior being for him. Women are more gifted to differentiate between facts and fiction. Unlike other methods of manipulation, good manners or not the result of conditioned forms of behavior based on profound psychological motivations. Children are taught to behave relatively late, and manners are particularly easy to recognize as a form of women's exploitation. It is a puzzle why even today such old tricks are still successful."

"The old saying that a woman's fate is her body is true in so far as, A positive meaning, but in the negative sense, it is better applied to men. After all, a woman profits from her anatomical peculiarities whenever she can, while a man is an eternal slave to his. If anyone ought to feel a sense of envy, it is men, they should be jealous of woman's power, but of course they never are, for they glory in their powerlessness. This is a natural assumption, since he has been manipulated to think that sex is the height of all pleasures, he is, of course, quite mistaken."

"A woman will certainly feel happy when she has an orgasm, but it is not the most intense pleasures she knows, a cocktail party, or buying a new pair of auburn colored patent letters rates far higher.

Consequently, a lie becomes a luxury. It has a rarity value. The rarity value has to be maintained by incessant denigration in the interest of liars. Therefore, it is very important that women teach men love of truth. For only if he loves truth, is she able to afford the luxury of lying."
