It made me question what I already knew, except it is a relentless description that just keeps beating down any barriers that were remaining in my social conditioning.

We’re talking about brainwashing, which is a harsher sounding word than ‘social conditioning’ or ‘programming’ or ‘learned behavior’.

Brainwashing is hard to overcome. I can only image someone who has fallen for the false idols of ‘women’ and how they would react.

I was born questioning everything around me and never in my life wanted to marry or have children. I am in the extreme minority in this respect. Since I can never know how it is to be any other person other than myself, I do imagine this book will be nothing short of a complete mindf~~~ for 99% of men.

I recommend spending the 7 bucks and getting the Kindle version instead of watching/listening to any s~~~ labeled ‘mgtow’ on youtube or anywhere else. This book is a prerequisite and should be mandatory reading for anyone brave enough to become ‘free’.

What was NOT covered in this book was the extreme danger of women being able to use the state to put men in cages with just a phone call. To me, this is the real threat. I’ve seen it and have known men who are innocent of any wrongdoing having to deal with this assault on mens’ freedoms.

Thanks KeyMaster for putting this in your list of books.

One book I HIGHLY suggest is ‘How I Found Freedom in an Unfree World’ by Harry Browne.

You’re right … it’s a real mind f~~~ ….. and you need to prepare for that.

It’s an amazing book and I knew much more after reading it ……. and still ponder it now.

The darkness is institutional.

But this Manipulated Man book…I stormed through it in a couple hours.

I think at the time and place the book was first written, that danger was not as severe as it is today. As we all know, a woman can have a man jailed for the most casual of reasons.

A MUST READ.

In the intro, the author mentions ‘over thirty five years have passed’ since the first publication. Probably 2007 or 2008 was the time she reviewed and edited anything she felt necessary.

@ Q-cummer:

You’re right that issue of the book was released around 2008, whilst the original was released as early as in the beginning of the 70s. So this is one new edition but in German there’s already yet another later/newer edition out (release in Germany about 2012) covering about 400 pages in total, now there’s your real “mind-f~~~ 2.5”. I bought it about a flat week ago (unfortunately it’s currently only in German around 9 or 10 buck / 13 EUROs), I am busily reading it, and at least for the time being, although I can’t at this early stage write any review yet I made a few efforts to translate some of her quotes from the latest added chapters…  Last week just upon my purchase of it I opened another thread regarding a collection for more classical modern quotes by Esther Vilar. It’s the “The latest issue of Esther Vilar’s famous book” thread in case you might be interested to read it for further details…

I did the same thing when I first read through Sex-Ploytation, another book I recommend for men. It was meant to be an update to the Manipulated Man. The only problem I see is that it doesn’t emphasize men giving up on women all together, just being more selective. The Anatomy of Female Power is also a good one for sharpening your mind to the tricks women use.

EDIT: Apparently, the women are trying to turn the tables yet again. Look up “the Manipulative Man” if you’re curious. Jesus.

Thanks for the thread link!

I wonder why the heck it is not in English by now..
