We often hear from activists, educators, and members of the media that the heteropatriarchy is ruthlessly oppressing women. Based on the rhetoric, one could reasonably think that men are waging a full-blown war on the opposite sex.
It's certainly true that women were in a very different position 50 or 100 years ago. If equity is your goal, tremendous progress has been made when it comes to opportunities for women. Indeed, most men today would probably be surprised to learn that they are waging war on women. Those men (and some women) may even think that the pendulum has swung too far, that there's actually a war on men.
So, what's true? Is one sex waging a "war" on the other? If so, who is winning?
To answer those questions and more, Intellectual Takeout hosted Christina Hoff Sommers, author of The War Against Boys: How Misguided Feminism is Harming our Young Men (2000), as our featured guest at a special event on October 30, 2017 at the Guthrie in downtown Minneapolis.
