The new Womens Liberation Movement that has been developing in the last few years badly needs feminist theory. This book is very welcome. With all her usual clarity and readability, Denise has set out to create a thorough analysis of the workings of male domination fit for our times. This is an excellent compendium of insights that can be returned to again and again to shed light on how the system works, and therefore provide some hope of how to begin dismantling it.

Sheila Jeffreys, author of Gender Hurts: a Feminist Analysis of the Politics of Transgenderism (2014) and The Lesbian Revolution: Lesbian Feminism in the UK 1970-1990 (2018).

Denise Thompsons new book Masculinity and the Ruling of the World is an important book. Many scholars and activists have exposed, analysed, denounced and sought to correct systems of oppression, but what most of them do is either

ignore or misidentify what it is that oppresses in the first place;

consider manifestations of oppression as aberrations from an already-accepted norm, either individual (through words or acts) or group (through ideological tenets and systems);

treat ideology, structure, culture and society as somehow discrete entities; or

think in terms of concurrent and/or intersecting systems (race, gender, class, capitalism and so on).

What Thompsons book does is provide an in-depth and historically, experientially and theoretically grounded analysis of masculinity as systemic and totalising, as the ruling principle that underpins all logics and practices of domination. An essential read for anyone who wishes to better understand both male domination and feminism.

Bronwyn Winter, Professor of Transnational Studies, Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, University of Sydney.

This impressive tome gallantly explores the threat posed to humanity by masculine entitlement in various manifestations. Thompson has the honesty and courage to expose the trans juggernaut for the fraud that it is. Thompson is a sane voice of resistance at a time when the very definition of woman is imperiled and our sex-based rights are being rapidly eroded.
