Forty years have passed since the so-called women's movement claimed to liberate women from preconceived notions of what it means to be female - and the results are in. The latest statistics show that as women have gained more freedom, more education, and more power, they have become less happy. In The Flipside of Feminism, Suzanne Venker and Phyllis Schlafly provide readers with a new view of women in America - casting off the ideology that preaches faux empowerment and liberation from men and marriage. Their book demonstrates that conservative women are, in fact, the most liberated women in America and the folks to whom young people should be turning for advice. Their confident and rational approach to the battle of the sexes is precisely what America needs.

Shockingly Good

I bought this hoping I was not wasting my money and it has shocked me.

I wish I read this book when I was 16. I can't recommend it highly enough.

I read a lot and few books are better written, more insightful or more relevant to understanding our culture.

Obviously this is a controversial subject so the writer's prose is even more elegant considering the turbulent subject material.

This book has dramatically changed my life. I am no longer the same, I understand our culture, myself, men and women like I did not before.

Concise and easy to read style (although emotionally slightly difficult). Informative and lots of citations to back up her (their) suppositions. It was a great collaboration between the two authors. The book does exactly what the title says, exposes the subversively selfish side of feminism along with the consequences it brings by choosing this "ism." I would highly recommend this book as a balancing of information that women are currently receiving from culture, so they will understand and know the whole truth of their choices.

Informative and Brutally Honest

Reviewed in Canada on December 14, 2011

At first i was kind of insulted while reading this book. i felt like the authors were too hard on liberals, and conservatives, and everyone for that matter. the more i read the more i agreed with what the book stated. This is the book i've read that has given the truth in a neat and sharp little package. This is a book everyone should read. Men and women. People should know that feminists are anti feminine. they aren't pro equal rights. they're just anti-men, and anti-family, and anti-tradition. And as a 19 year old girl in the 21st century. i am angrier at this than anything else in my life. Feminists got rid of the law stating that men had to take care of their families. Women now have to have a career AND have children if they want. that is wayyyyy too much work for a mother. feminisms put the idea that women were bored, and stuck at home. but guess what? most females like their children, and want to stay home.
i really appreciate this book.

The other couple of books i can really recommend are "The Male Brain" and "The Female Brain". Written by Louann Brizendine M.D

Feminism: the radical notion that women are people

Reviewed in Canada on March 14, 2012

It's hard to believe these women are not just jealous at the freedom women have gained over the years. I mean, WHAT do these 2 women want, to paraphrase Freud's famous phrase? What exactly are they upset about? That women have gained a place in society? That we are no longer treated as 2nd class citizens? Feminism was, IS, about giving women more options. It's about empowering women, letting their voice heard, ensuring equal conditions in the workplace, making sure women have access to that workplace in the first place. Even if they have kids.

Feminists have kids. Lots of them. And we love them! We just don't think women should be tied to a narrow conception of what "being a woman" means. Which means that we don't think women's sole place is barefoot, pregnant, and in the kitchen.

You've also got to wonder why these women have to constantly utter the word "liberal" as if it were some bad word. And we progressive folks have to start reappraising the word "liberal" in the first place.

Because we don't live in the 1950s anymore. And despite what the authors contend, I don't know too many women who think those years were glorious for women and that we should go back to that time when women were at the mercy of their husband and had little say over their lives. And considering feminism has still so much to offer to women (and men, who also benefit from equal relations between the sexes!), considering there are still some very real obstacles for women to overcome, both in their professional and private lives, the movement is not about to die out, much to the chagrin of the authors. And I will continue to proudly consider myself a feminist and to speak up loud and clear against gender inequalities and sexist policies.

shame on feminists...

Reviewed in Canada on December 15, 2011

shame on feminists for fighting to get women recognized as 'persons' under the law
shame on feminists for helping to take down a law (who am I kidding...many laws) which allowed for women to be beaten by their husbands and treated like property (heck we couldn't own any...so why not be treated like some, right?)
shame on feminists for working with queer feminists, feminists of colour you name it to create a better (not perfect!) world where women all over the globe can begin conversations on how to eradicate inequity, sex and gender based, race and class based, governmental, policy driven etc. oppressions
shame on feminists for trying to transform young girls who are obsessed with having the perfect body OR obsesseed with being some boys play thing into "feminists" (oh dear...I'm not sure if that word FEMINISM should even be allowed in public funded schools..what a crime on humanity to teach girls about choices, activism and systemic discrimination...let's just keep teenage pregnancy on a rise without addressing any of the underlying issues. Hey they'll make great mothers..who cares if they are 15 or 12!)
It's a real real real shame that Feminism existed in the first place. This is a great book. N to the O to the T!

Reviewed in Canada on March 25, 2014

Phyllis is best known for leading opposition to the equal rights amendement so, you know, women couldn't be descrimminated against based on their gender. Self-defeating much? Hey Phyllis, you should probably stop participating in public life since that's no place for a woman.
It is an absolute joke that this woman was actually awarded an honourariam degrees in 2008 - would we give someone staunchly oopposed to racial equality and black rights an honourariam degree? No, which tells us how much more work feminists have to do that nut bags like this are still acceptable in main stream society. Maybe if she had actually attended University and EARNED them (wow, thanks feminism! women can earn degrees!) she wouldn't be so draconian and ass-backwards.

Essential reading for young women and those in education or leadership roles

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 7, 2015

Verified Purchase

This book should be handed out at schools as essential reading! Sadly this will never happen because of the liberal bias in schools and higher education. There is so much practical wisdom in this book pertaining to hard work, family, education, business and relationships. It breaks down the myths and lies told to young women by feminists about what a real woman should be, why there is so many women with aching hearts and unfulfilled dreams today.

On the negative side it is politically partisan and written with Americans in mind but the intelligent reader should be able to apply what is written to their own lives easily. And also it maintains that the two part system in politics isn't manipulated and rigged. However the book does try to rescue Conservatism from what passes for Conservative today in it's defence.

Wish I read this book in my younger years

Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2012

Verified Purchase

Other reviews hit the nail on the head in terms of what is discussed in this book. I'll just give a background on where I come from. My parents were staunch Republicans and I turned out to be the hippy hard core vegan liberal daughter who emulated the 60's peace movements in the 1990's and fought for co-ops and animal right and women's right in my young teen years. I was this way for over a decade. When I hit the age of 30, something felt not quite right.

Even though I was hard core liberal, I was honestly against abortion the entire time. I fought in the name of women's right to have an abortion, but yet felt it was wrong. After I graduated college and started teaching in the public school, I knew something was going on, and it wasn't right. I taught in a Midwestern inner city school where the majority of my students were on both the free breakfast and lunch programs, most didn't know if their homes would have running water that night, or where they would be sleeping. In one class alone, 22 out of 35 kids lived with their mom only. A few knew who their dads were. Quite a number had siblings sired by different fathers and the mom still by herself. These kids, living in poverty, although may have seemed dumb to the outside world, were very very smart. They had to be to survive. They didn't like that they didn't know or have a male figure in their lives. What their mom's called 'a woman's right to have a baby without a father present' only brought sadness on their kids. They wanted to have a dad or adult male figure present in their lives. They didn't want a slew of mom's 'boyfriends' coming over. Several kids joked that their 'mom is a ho'. To them their mom's feminist lifestyle (as the moms would put it) was not seen that way by their kids.

This was the first time my liberal world was shattered. I was still a hard core liberal, but the shell was beginning to crack.

I begin to wonder why feminist groups were so hard for pushing and pushing 'womens rights' in the form of abortions and the pill. Although this is still being debated, even to this day, I wondered why feminists weren't pushing for health right to HAVE a baby instead of trying to either get rid of a pregnancy or not even have one. Women are biologically meant to have children. I understand there are times when birth control is needed and effective in it's job. Long term relationships, maybe you have PCOS and need the BCP to regulate your hormones, I understand that.

Then I hit 30. A few more things shattered in in the liberal shell I had going. I quit being vegan and vegetarian all together. This was due to an iron count so low I was about to go anemic. No amount of prescription iron pills were helping. Although the GP applauded my vegetarian/vegan lifestyle, he said it's not for every body type.
I also took a job overseas and saw how universal health care works in other countries, I also saw how other cultures around the world value a mother at home, or not necessarily home ALL the time, but a good family structure. I started to listen to my older relatives how communication is important in relationship and today's women are all about 'gimme gimme gimme' in the relationships but unwilling to give back in return. I looked at how my friend's relationships would crumble because the women wanted to run the relationship in total, no exceptions made. At work I ran into a slew of older, unmarried women without children who made their jobs their careers and how miserable they were. Many realized too late that they wish they put a relationship and a family first, but now in their late 40's/early 50's it was too late for them. Many regretted it, even those that were hard core feminists. They knew they would spend their retirement years alone and wish they had children.

I made the change completely from hard core liberal to conservative AFTER I met my husband. At this point I was 'getting up in years' even though I was in my 30's. I knew I wanted children at this time, something I was against when I was younger. I admit I had a hard time making the change because the feminist agenda pushes women NOT to accept being a wife and mother.

The Flipside of Feminism: What Conservative Women Know -- and Men Can't Say basically brings home what I felt at that point. I realized what the feminist agenda was at that time, how it hurt me in my past relationships, and what it is doing today. Yes, I'm a mom that works because I need to and my child needs the social integration and structure at the specialist school we're sending him too. I hate having my kids in daycare during the day. I feel guilt even though all the feminists around me at work tell it it's okay. I get more satisfaction staying at home with my kids than I do at work. And yes, we plan on having more kids, at which point I will stay home (I make a bit more than the daycare costs right now).

This book sums up practically everything I've felt about the evolution of feminism. It WAS good and served a purpose back in the day, but now it has morphed into a horrible horrible monster that pushes a destructive agenda that not only hurts women, but uses children as battlefield fodder and treats men like a dog going to an animal shelter.

A must read

Reviewed in Australia on June 3, 2015

Verified Purchase

This book deserves more than the maximum rated stars as it is not a simple book, but the chance to understand all the traps behind feminism since its origin. Moreover, it gave me a clear foundation on the basis of this wicked movement that has been targeting families and the mainstream, which are often disoriented and easily alienated by untruths. If you declare yourself feminist I therefore, recommend it as a must read to understand the nasty place you put yourself in. If you do not consider yourself feminist at any circumstance, "The flip side of feminism" is still a great source to start understanding the battle field we are and this movement that once and for all needs to be knocked down.
