I don't know what I did to deserve redpill/manosphere content to pop up in my YouTube recommendations but this video appeared under it by some channel called "Manosphere Highlights Daily" summarizing a book titled "The Manipulated Man" by Esther Vilar (born in 1935), an Argentinian-German writer who spent the later part of her life, following her retirement from being a doctor, writing and publishing books not only condemning feminism and the concept of woman's rights BUT insisted that for centuries, women have been oppressing men this whole time via a carefully laid out system while also being intellectually inferior to men.
The video (Part 1) which I watched for the comedic value of how silly her rhetoric was, was a summary of her most well-known work published in 1971, titled "The Manipulated Man" and it was hilariously farfetched and contradictory in its anti-woman rhetoric, I couldn't be arsed watching the second part:
Some of her key quotes from her works (not limited to her seminal work "The Manipulated Man") include:
Today, it would seem her work is massively influential in incel/redpill circles as they view it as a 'rare' smart woman exposing her gender's dirty little secrets. Should've stayed being a medical doctor smh

Some of her key quotes from her works (not limited to her seminal work "The Manipulated Man") include:
- “It is quite incredible that men, whose desire for knowledge is unbounded in every other field, are really totally blind to these facts, that they are incapable of seeing women as they really are: with nothing else to offer but a vagina, two breasts,....”
- Women do not use their mental capacity: they deliberately let it disintegrate. (…) It is not essential for their survival. Theoretically it is possible for a beautiful woman to have less intelligence than a chimpanzee and still be considered an acceptable member of society.
- "What a great advantage a man can have over women, if he only knew what cold and calculating thoughts are going through her mind... while her eyes are brimming with tears."
- "By the age of twelve at the latest, most women have decided to become prostitutes. Or, to put it another way, they have planned a future for themselves which consists of choosing a man and letting him do all the work. In return for his support, they are prepared to let him make use of their vagina at certain given intervals."
- "Someday it will dawn on man that woman does not read the wonderful books with which he has filled his libraries, and though she may well admire his marvelous works of art in museums she herself will rarely create, only copy."
- "Instead of probing the depth of woman’s "mysterious" psyche – "mysterious" only because there is nothing behind it – they should study their own psyche."
- "...women are good for almost nothing."
Today, it would seem her work is massively influential in incel/redpill circles as they view it as a 'rare' smart woman exposing her gender's dirty little secrets. Should've stayed being a medical doctor smh
