What Men Know That Women Don't is a book by Rich Zubaty that examines masculinity in crisis in the western world.[1] Says John Waters in The Irish Times: Here is the backlash, the reply to 30 years of calumny and lies. I have seen the future and its name is Rich Zubaty. What Men Know that Women Don't might become the most explosive book of the century. Zubaty seeks to give men a revised map of their souls as a way of saving their lives. He says things we have not dared to think. Men are more spiritual than women. Men have deeper feelings than women. Men are intuitive, women are not. Women are not oppressed. Women are the cause of war. Our lives are inside out. Feminism is a disaster because it annihilates love.[2]

Synopsis

Rich Zubaty has updated and completely rewritten his classic Surviving the Feminization of America. Controversial even within the ranks of men's rights activists, the original 1993 edition of "Surviving" sparked a lot of admiration for the author's rambling, tell-it-like-it-is style...I can't think of a men's movement book I have read which has made a stronger impression on me. Here are some of the ideas Zubaty proposes: Women are more materialistic than men, and they are also more analytical than males. Men are more spiritual (and more intuitive) than women, as well as more skilled in relationships, and we need to regenerate a male-flavored spirituality if we are to save this planet before it is really too late. One of the biggest problems today is men and women have swapped mental roles, and neither of us does particularly well at playing the other's role. "Men are not the oppressors of women. The simple proof of that is that Women are not oppressed." "Our male models are reconstituted women. They are the men women like, not the men God likes." "Our priests wear gowns, our judges wear robes, and our ex- wives wear jeans."...The masculine is losing its importance. Zubaty draws a pointed analogy between the "decay and dissolution" he has observed in Native Americans with whom he has lived, and recent developments in North America and Europe. "What we are seeing on the reservation is a speeded up version of what Western society has done to all men--killed off the visionaries and turned the rest into a bunch of alcoholic businessmen." Ouch -- J. Steven Svoboda, Ph.D. Harvard, human rights lawyer and Executive Director of Attorneys for the Rights of the Child.[3]

Quoting directly from the text of Surviving the Feminization of America, the original title of What Men Know That Women Don’t, for the Harvard Crimson: "American women are the healthiest, most coddled, most protected women on the planet," Zubaty said. "They are not expected to fight in wars, mine coal, pour asphalt, or lay bricks. Women receive welfare benefits that are withheld from men. Women are an exalted majority, not a victimized minority." [4]
