An unsparing look at how radical feminism has hijacked the law to subvert the rules of sexual conduct and our notions of fairness and equality.
For more than a decade, the destructive and dishonest ideology of radical feminism has flourished in North America. In courtrooms and boardrooms across the continent, radical feminism has gone largely unchallenged, promoting an unthinking rigidity in sexuality, poisoning work environments, undermining family stability, and wrongly transforming the rules of sexual conduct. In this provocative book, Neil Boyd argues that a new wave of self-described radical feminists have been remarkably successful in reworking criminal and family law and thus transforming the rules of sexual conduct and our notions of fairness and equality, as well as undermining a socially valuable feminism.
Backed up by extensive research and illustrated by stories that are both amusing and chilling, Big Sister shows how female extremists have changed the law in ways that threaten free speech, bring a code of Puritanism to male-female relationships, alter common-sense understandings of sexual consent, infantilize woman, and jeopardize gender relations.
