And can we, as a society, find a better way forward?\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis clear, bold, and unexpectedly hopeful manifesto is for anyone craving a deep, fundamental change to our lives, relationships, and world order. Using the accessible, point-by-point structure of her \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestseller \u003ci\u003eEjaculate Responsibly\u003c\/i\u003e, Blair walks us through her concise, darkly funny reasons why men are the actual second sex. With scientific precision, Blair draws on evolutionary examples of how males function across species: interchangeable, often disposable, and happiest in a \"drone\" role when their basic needs are met. Dismantling cherished myths about male \"strength\" and \"protection,\" she makes the radical case that men would thrive in a matriarchal, care-centered world. Because for the vast majority of human history, patriarchy didn't exist--and after men seized power, our species and planet were brought to the brink of collapse in just 10,000 years. Matriarchies center coalition-building, not the extreme hierarchy that characterizes patriarchy. Instead of a total gender role reversal with women on top, \u003ci\u003eMen Come Second\u003c\/i\u003e invites readers to imagine and begin to build communities organized around children, caregiving, and long-term survival.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gabrielle Stanley Blair\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0316614009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780316614009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Little Brown and Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/09\/2027\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Gabrielle Stanley Blair","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48874713579775,"sku":"9780316614009","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/men-come-second-gabrielle-stanley-blair-9780316614009","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
