Against all evidence to the contrary, American men have come to believe that the world is tilted - economically, socially, politically - against them. A majority of men across the political spectrum feel that they face some amount of discrimination because of their sex. The authors of Gender Threat look at what reasoning lies behind their belief and how they respond to it. 

Psychologists use the term "gaslighting" to explain the manipulation in which the gaslighter (i.e. the manipulator) is trying to get the victim to question their sanity, memory or perceptions. It’s mistakenly thought that this psychological abuse only concerns the relational sphere, while now there are many cases of people who experience this manipulation in friendship or even in the family.

If you believe you are being gaslit, this audiobook is for you. It will help you recognize whether you are the victim of narcissistic abuse. Narcissists are extremely cunning people. They can masquerade as well-wishers while, in reality, they are the ones damaging your relationship. They destroy your self-esteem, make you indulge in self-doubt, and worst of all, they make you believe that you do not deserve to be treated with love, respect, and kindness.
