First published in 1966, The Dangerous Sex shows how the irrational
concept of the "dangerous sex" evolved and how it was - and is -
used by man to maintain his dominance. He examines sexual practices
and beliefs, marriage customs and rituals, and social behaviour in
every society and every age from pre-historic times to the present
day. The result is a revealing picture of the deep-seated male
hostility that generates the way of the sexes and has fed it
throughout human history. It is also a blazing indictment of this
ingrained psycho-social pattern, as it unconsciously destroys and
disrupts huge areas of human happiness. In this enquiry into
misogyny, H. R. Hays suggests that men must face their own
compulsions before a true and balanced relation between the sexes
is achieved. This book therefore throws a new light on the problems
of feminism, the feminine mystique and the whole controversy
concerning the place of women in society, and will be of interest
to students of literature, gender studies, anthropology and
psychology.
