Renzo Verwer review

Men's activist Renzo Verwer on women

The website of Renzo Verwer, who has been writing a post a day for years and is rewarded with 100,000 visits a year.

Renzo Verwer is a prolific blogger. One observation every day; in February, it was the turn of Gender Rebels — a book about women, and about being a woman. According to Verwer:

A book that looks, among other things, at the consequences for women of the trans hype, mass immigration, the identity hype, and modern and older views of womanhood. And much more besides. In a review, the temptation is always to pick things out, to criticise, to argue with the book, to spot a mistake and then hammer away at it. The temptation, in other words, is to point out one-sidedness — about men supposedly having so much power over women, for example, which Warren Farrell successfully challenged — only to answer it with another struggle and another one-sidedness. I am not going to do that. It is fairer to let the book speak for itself. In which, of course, I am also making choices.
