Real Men On Top deftly dissects and discards patriarchy's logic of biological supremacy, then reveals what's left-a shadow play propelled by the flimsiest of narratives. By demonstrating clearly how even the men who purportedly benefit from these stories are also exploited, this elegant treatise offers us all a salvational alternative. Robin Dembroff releases our chains, guides us gently out of the cave, and helps us begin to adjust to the shimmering reality outside. * Alison Bechdel, author of Dykes to Watch Out For and Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic * As a person who has been studying and fighting patriarchy most of my life, Real Men on Top took me to a whole new level of understanding. It deeply transformed my consciousness around gender. Dembroff has nailed the next evolutionary steps needed in dismantling a devastating paradigm that as they brilliantly show, encompasses and destroys us all. * V (formerly Eve Ensler), author of The Vagina Monologues and The Apology * This deeply humane book opened my mind. Robin Dembroff offers a radical and provocative account of patriarchy, written with compassion for those caught in its grip. Real Men on Top is beautifully written, consistently surprising, and will change how you think about gender and yourself. * Paul Bloom, author of Psych: The Story of the Human Mind * Brilliant, timely, and deeply heartfelt, Real Men on Top is a must-read for anyone invested in making gender less of a weapon and masculinity less toxic. In today's world, that might be hoped to include all of us. Dembroff has achieved that rare feat: a rigorous yet approachable book that will pull you in from the very first page. * Kate Manne, author of Down Girl: The Logic of Misogyny * Leave it to the brilliant Robin Dembroff to make you see patriarchy like you've never seen it before. Their book unpacks not only how gender hurts women in ways we often overlook, but also how it harms the very men it supposedly benefits-and renders people like me, with bodies that don't fit binary scripts, nearly unthinkable. Read it and get your world turned upside down. * Riki Wilchins, author of Let's (Not) Talk About (Transgender) Sex * Real Men on Top is a stunning work of philosophy that explains why insights from gender studies are so feared by authoritarian regimes. In plain language, Dembroff illuminates gender as the internal logic of our current fascist moment - how it divides us from each other and enriches the wealthy few. * Jason Stanley, author of How Fascism Works: The Politics of Us and Them * A brilliant book! With stunning clarity, Dembroff cuts through the myths about gender, and shows how patriarchy isn't just bad for women. It's bad for everyone. * Elizabeth Anderson, author of Hijacked: How Neoliberalism Turned the Work Ethic against Workers and How Workers Can Take It Back * Real Men on Top is a profound and necessary book. By exposing the myths that sustain this illusion of 'Man' as superior- Male, Human, Adult-they invite us to imagine a more compassionate and connected way of living, one that honors the dignity of all beings. * Lori Gruen, author of Ethics and Animals and Entangled Empathy: An Alternative Ethic for Our Relationships with Animals *
