Book Reviews of Gender Knot Revised Ed: Unraveling Our Patriarchal Legacy

Book Review: I recommended it to all of my friends.
Summary: 5 Stars

This is an excellent book, especially for those not terribly familiar with how social systems work. Great starting point for coming to terms with the reality of our Patriarchy!

Summary of Gender Knot Revised Ed: Unraveling Our Patriarchal Legacy

The Gender Knot, Allan Johnson's response to the pain and confusion that men and women experience by living with gender inequality, explains what patriarchy is (and isn't), how it works, and what gets in the way of understanding and doing something about it. Johnson's simple yet powerful approach avoids the paralyzing trap of guilt, blame, anger, and defensive denial that often result from conversations about gender. He shows how we all participate in an oppressive system we didn't create and how each of us can contribute towards its dissolution. He argues persuasively that something much better is possible and that our individual choices matter more than we can ever know.
