Feminism prioritises exposing and ending male violence towards women and girls.\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis is Julie Bindel's feminism, a definition born of 40 years at the front line of the feminist movement. Why then, she asks, is feminism the only social justice movement in the world that is expected to prioritise every other issue before pursuing its own objective of women's liberation? Why does the movement appear to be moving backwards, accommodating the rights and feelings of men and leaving women in the cold? Women make up half the global population yet why is feminism still treated as a minority movement? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this searing and ground-breaking book, Bindel deconstructs the many pervasive myths about feminism - Do women really want what men have? Can men be feminists? Are women liberated by sexual violation? - assessing whether feminism has achieved its goals and debunking theories that second wave feminism is irrelevant and one-dimensional. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBindel shines a light on the most important issues, including pornography, sexual violence and prostitution.
