The Manipulated Man by Esther Vilar

The Manipulated Man is a provocative social commentary in which Esther Vilar argues that, contrary to the dominant narrative of male privilege, men are actually manipulated by women in modern society. She challenges traditional gender roles, suggesting that women exert power by controlling men emotionally, socially, and economically.

Because of its contrarian perspective, the book has been both highly criticized and praised — sparking debates on gender relations for decades.
