Reddit mentions of The Privileged Sex

Since this was front-paged I'm gonna hijack the top post and link to the work of Karen Straughan. She posts here occasionally and will hopefully chime in on this thread.

/u/yoshi_win, your list and earlier reference posts are excellent; I didn't intend to be hypercritical. Here are further references for your "reliable" category:

• Straus: Thirty Years of Denying the Evidence on Gender Symmetry in Partner Violence
  
  
• Straus-Steinmetz-Gelles: Book Behind Closed Doors, one of the earliest works finding significant husband battering (>50%)
  
  
• Van Creveld: The Privileged Sex, a professional historian's work showing the privileges (more than compensating for disadvantages) which women have had from the dawn of history
  
  
• Kathleen Parker: Save the Males, a journalist's exposition of the case for helping men
  

> male makes the rules.

I'm afraid not quite so. Marriage, from its initial institution, was in favor of women.

You can find more about it in my book, and if you need a more detailed historical analysis, check out the excellent book by Martin Van Creveld The Privileged Sex.
