His Side

Men Speak Out on Dating, Marriage, and Life in America

By: Helen Smith PhD

Narrated by: Danielle Rayne

Men don't tell you what they really think, but they tell psychologist Helen Smith—and she tells you.

James Brown said that it's a man's world. That was then. Today, men are living in a female-centered society that shares and pervades their lives whether they realize it or not. Our modern culture views dating, marriage, and domestic life almost exclusively through women's eyes and voices; men are simply seen as objects that women can order or reject by swiping on a dating app. Men's needs and feelings are left out of the equation, or seen as downright undeserved. From the COVID Karens who scold those without masks to the den mothers who run society and the workplace, men are inundated with messages that the male point of view is unwelcome and unheard.

His Side brings previously silenced straight male perspectives to light with in-person interviews by psychologist and men's rights advocate Helen Smith, author of Men on Strike. These interviews are first-person accounts of how young, middle-aged, and older men experience dating apps, marriage, and work while living in a world that no longer values masculine traits and desires. It is a psychological and political look into the mind of the modern male-terrain that is rarely explored in our female-centered society.

This is the perspective of men no one talks about

This is an excellent follow-up to her previous book, Men on Strike.

The pathologies created by feminism and the dominant matriarchy pose a great challenge to men--young and old alike--in navigating the relationships between the sexes. Where Men on Strike documented the systemic prejudice against men, this book covers the personal challenge of finding, dating, and successfully marrying women in today's anti-masculine environment. Every man is a "toxic" male when they do not bend the knee to the feminist agenda.

Dr. Smith shares her interviews with men in college ("frat-boys") thru men in their late 60s for this book. She really focuses on what it is like to be a man who has conservative, traditional, and/or religious views that conflict with the mainstream ideas of what modern men are supposed to believe and act like. Men are treated as defective girls. Women are supposed to behave like men.

This is full of interesting anecdotes that serve as instruction for men of all ages and also as a caution against getting involved with the wrong kinds of women.

This will likely be strongly condemned by the Left for its themes of "misogyny" and "toxic" masculinity. It is actually showing how men are navigating a course thru choppy and dangerous waters in today's modern relationships.

This book went by very quickly and left me wanting to hear more from what her research discovered.
