Synopsis
Unlike so many other publications that approach human sexuality, feminism, and political correctness from an academic vantage point, The Rantings of a Single Male gets personal. Drawing upon encounters with both foreign and domestic women, American writer Thomas Ellis offers up this collection of highly original stories, satire, and social commentary. Running the gamut from hilarious to tragic, these rants employ dark humor to illuminate the many absurdities of our gender culture. A central theme is our willingness to nurture lower standards of female responsibility in both public and private life. Ellis is unapologetic and unrestrained in his handling of women's history, women's spirituality, gender norming, implants, affirmative action, rape hysteria, pornography, homophobia, and bad dates. Deep, dark, and disturbing, The Rantings of a Single Male is destined to become a gender wars classic.

May 30, 2006: In spite of the seemingly hostile title, this book is a well reasoned look at contemporary women in an environment heavily influenced by feminism. The book is the author's look back at his life within this context, and the women he encountered along the way to becoming a devout single. There is plenty of skillfully executed humor to be found, but overall, this is the documentation of an enormous tragedy - which is the decline of male/female relations. Contrary to what feminists have been claiming, it is not an erosion of power that men object to, it is the loss of gratitude and respect as men and fathers. It is the most vivid book I've yet seen on this topic.
