{"product_id":"men-come-second","title":"Men Come Second","description":"\u003cb\u003eWas patriarchy a mistake? 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","brand":"Little Brown and Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48848017752269,"sku":"9780316614009","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0557\/1529\/9533\/files\/imageloader_540b351f-853f-492b-9621-07e0f6b5ee0e.jpg?v=1793394398","url":"https:\/\/booksatmidnight.com\/products\/men-come-second","provider":"Books At Midnight","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
