the manipulated man book by esther vilar

To Vilar, the typical American housewife was nothing more than a parasitic prostitute living off the bounty of her husband's hard labor, mercilessly goading him to make more money so that she could enjoy the finer things in life without any expenditure of effort on her part. It was a cold-blooded manipulation, indeed.

Vilar's crucial thesis was that women, by manipulating men with sex, have conditioned them to respond like Pavlov's dogs, to be shackled into a lifetime of subservience and slavery for the fulfillment of female desires. Although it was only a slim volume, The Manipulated Man nevertheless packed the wallop of a hand grenade. From the vantage point of such rich cultural experience, Vilar was in a unique position to cast a critical eye on the social milieu of the 1960's and 70's and because she had managed to disencumber herself from the hypocrisy so natural to her gender, she was free to unleash her intelligence as a ruthlessly honest critic of male/female relationships.

Its author was Esther Vilar, an Argentinian-born physician and psychologist, who had emigrated from her native Buenos Aires to West Germany.
