Wed 05 Mar 2008 The Manipulated Man, Ester Vilar and Love. (Ansgar Fehnker)
Ester Vilar wrote at the height of the second feminist wave in 1971 "The Manilputated Man", a book on the gender relations that takes the uncommon view that it is not the men who oppress the women, but the women who exploit the men. The cover explains: "The Manipulated Man is modern man, grinding away in a lucrative job, so that as a person he is not more exciting than a robot. His intelligence has been numbed down into believing that his sole function is to provide for his parasites, one wife and one or more infants." Time and Place for Philorum Group @ Central 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of every month. 18:15 for a 18:30 Start. Finish 21:30 (Feel free to come and go at any point during the night.)
