Book Reviews

“This book deftly navigates the intersections between ideology and the common law, in as much as these intersections define the reduction of women to the subaltern status of property, and how repudiation of this property principle can trigger violence against women. The book is written in the form of a series of post-doctoral qualitative research projects, structured in the doctrinal form of legal narrative analyses.” To read the full review, click here>>>. – Dr. Ashgar Ali bin Ali Mohamed, Professor, International Islamic University Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur

“Critical Women’s Issues is a thought-provoking and timely book that provides a comprehensive and nuanced analysis of the issues affecting women globally. The authors’ emphasis on intersectionality and patriarchy provides a framework for understanding the complex ways in which women’s lives are shaped by multiple forms of oppression, and their use of data and analysis provides a nuanced and evidence-based understanding of the issues affecting women. The book is a must-read for anyone interested in issues of social justice and human rights, and provides a range of practical strategies for challenging the power structures that perpetuate women’s oppression. The book emphasizes the power of women’s voices and the need for collective action to create a more just and equitable world.” To read the full review, click here>>>. – Vipul Tamhane, World Geostrategic Insights Podcast

Description

This book covers deceptive ideological propositions, specious laws, and folklore, all of which maintain women’s continuing subjection. Chapter 1 is entitled Feminist Lens on Gender Violence: Patriarchal Hierarchy of Status and discusses how violence against women is likely rooted in the continuing transmission of patriarchal ideologies. Chapter 2 is entitled Violence Directed at Women: Re-Engineering Old Laws with Newly-Infused Ideologies and discusses how any law against violence, confected solely to punish incels committing violence against so-called ‘Stacys’ would fail the test of cogent pragmatic elaboration of appropriateness and justice. Chapter 3 is entitled The Misogyny of Incels: Ideological Narrative Transmission into Folklore, and it discovers, then discusses, men’s goals which have been made unreachable by insemination in ideological propositions of misogyny, and state sponsored misogyny which has been maintained by publicly debating terrorism risks to women. Chapter 4 is entitled A War Formula for Male Dominance: Ideology of Patriarchy and discusses how only one person could literally occupy, in a military sense, the production of affective guilt in other persons, and how this could be done by men in large power groups controlling patriarchal social structures. Chapter 5 entitled The Marital Rape Exemption: Chattel Slavery of Women by Coverture discovers the specious ideological conception of ‘marital unity’, arising from the Christian ‘one-flesh’ doctrine, combined with the common law legal fiction of ‘coverture’. Chapter 6 entitled Neofeudalism in Food Security: Patriarchal Coercion and Expropriation discusses that wwherever a feudal male worked, and had food expropriated from him by feudal Lords, so too, by the forces of patriarchal feudal hierarchy, did women suffer consequent food deprivation by expropriation, with this situation subsisting to this day in so-called inflationary food prices. Chapter 7 entitled Aboriginal Women’s Complaints: Ignored in Judicial Discourse discusses Aboriginal womens’ narrative text whom all suffer instances of deceptive rhetoric to remove either their rights or the appendant correlative duties to their exigencies of life.
