About the Author: Swayne O'Pie
Swayne O'Pie is a British writer, formerly a socialist, and he's decidedly not a misogynistic, unreconstructed male. In 1989, after 22 years in education, he became a single parent, looking after his three children. During the 1970s he worked enthusiastically for Equality Feminism and still passionately believes in its principles of equal rights, equal opportunities, equal respect, equal treatment and equal choices for women. But, he argues, this is not the Feminism that exists in Britain today.
Already holding two bachelor degrees, in 1995/6 O'Pie took a Master's degree in Gender and Social Policy. Studying for a second Master's degree in Gender and Education, he was elected student Equal Opportunities Officer for 2004/5. O'Pie has produced research for Bob Geldof's literary and documentary work on equality for fathers, and for his discussions with ministers. He's been a member of three American Men's Equality Groups, and even though he had been a single parent he became an active member of the campaigning group Fathers 4 Justice.
PLEASE NOTE: The content of this book differs from the content of ‘Why Britain Hates Men: Exposing Feminism' (which is solely on sale in the United Kingdom) only with respect to the addition of a Foreword by the British writer, Mike Buchanan:
This book is of international relevance. It was first published in Britain only, in October 2011, with the title ‘Why Britain Hates Men: Exposing Feminism'. A British readership was anticipated, but to the author's surprise (and delight) orders for the book also arrived from readers in other developed countries, most notably the United States, Canada and Australia. Many of these buyers reported parallels in their own countries, especially with respect to the strategies used by feminists to justify their continued existence and to perpetuate their cultural and political power, now that equal rights and equal opportunities for women have been achieved. Swayne O'Pie refers to the feminist strategies of deliberately creating ‘women's issues', ‘inequalities' and ‘discriminations' as the ‘Feminist Fraud', leading to ‘Forever Feminism' -- a phenomenon found in many developed countries. He concludes that for feminists success will never be enough, they can never allow themselves to be satisfied.
O'Pie, often referred to in Britain as ‘The Feminists' Nemesis', is a well-known and highly regarded speaker on feminism and sexual politics. ‘Exposing Feminism' explores in forensic detail and with examples the deceit that feminism has become. There is no war between men and women... but there has been a thirty years war by feminists against men; and the majority of men haven't realised that they are in a war.
‘Exposing Feminism' identifies feminism as the root cause of all the discriminations and disadvantages that men experience in western societies. Its analysis of the feminist agenda is applicable to the condition of men and women in all developed countries. The book is confrontational and O'Pie makes no apology for that. He's a brave man, addressing issues which other writers have feared to confront -- the deliberate exaggeration of rape statistics, the widespread influence of lesbian feminism, the deliberate cheating and lying of feminist ‘research', the feminists' psychological make-up and their need for anger. His honesty and integrity have made him a figure of hate and a target for the animosity of feminists; his motor home has already been attacked and seriously damaged three times by lesbian feminists (and signed by them).
Feminism has become a malign and highly influential ideology in contemporary western societies, and it's astonishing that it hasn't been seriously questioned and challenged... until now. ‘Exposing Feminism' is a powerful examination of how and why misandry (the hatred of men) spread so easily across the developed world; it shows why men are universally blamed, demonised, and whenever possible, punished. The book's evidence and research exposes the deceits of modern feminism -- issue by issue.
For all its serious content ‘Exposing Feminism' is extremely readable and inspiring, a ‘must read' for men and women who've become disillusioned with the feminist movement and the ravages it has caused for thirty years in contemporary western societies. The book is a timely and valuable contribution to the critique of feminism in the modern world. Its eye-opening content is making waves; it deserves to become a bestseller.
Mike Buchanan, May 2012
