This dude is a god :O ingenious Spanish writer debunks feminism with new book (translation of newspaper interview)

Diego de los Santos: "Men in Spain are second-class citizens

Diego de los Santos. LΓΌdenscheid, Germany, 1969. This biologist and doctor in Ecology, who defines himself as an anti-system, is the author of 'GΓ©nero Singular. Manual para gente sin gΓ©nero' (Samarcanda), a controversial anti-feminist book.

Reporter: Why is his work so anti-feminist?

Interviewee: Whoever defends equality today will necessarily be against this feminism, which is the greatest source of legal inequality that exists in Spain.

Reporter: Has it rained a lot of criticism on you?

Interviewee: No, on the contrary. The rejection of this 'gender' feminism is already quite common. People are coming out of the ideological closet, fortunately. That's what my book is for, in case anyone needs a little push to think without taboos.

Reporter: Feminism defends the equality of men and women, don't you agree?

Interviewee: That's what the RAE (Royal Spanish Academy) says, but the reality is different. Feminism, in the name of equality, has done away with equality. Anyone who hasn't heard of this is living on another planet. Or it's that they don't want to know.

Reporter: Why do you say that feminism is a neo-Machism?

Interviewee: Because it defends a savage segregation in the law on the basis of sex. And because it focuses the debate on female victimhood. For feminism, as for machismo, "boys don't cry, they have to fight", as BosΓ© sang. In essence, nothing has changed. We men now have to escape from this post-modern machismo that is called feminism, and which objectifies us.

Reporter: His thesis would fit if there were as many men as women killed by their partners.

Interviewee: They have told us: since Pepe has killed his wife, and Pepe is a man, men are murderers, and we can already discriminate against them. It is a fallacy, it is perverse, because those who kill are the murderers, not the men. I refuse to be put in the sack of monsters, if I accepted it I would lose that human dignity that today they want to take away from me.

Reporter: Nor have we ever had a woman president of the government.

Interviewee: There is a symbiosis between feminism and political power, but it is a macho pact. None of the feminist parties we have in Spain has ever proposed a female candidate. The role of feminism in this marriage of convenience is, from a second level, to manipulate the female vote.

Reporter: Is the female vote manipulate

Just published my first ever book in Dec: The Ingenious and the Colour of Life - it's the lighter kind of sci-fi, a mix of the fragility of human nature, science, and the natural world. If you'd like to give it a read, the book's reduced by 70%

Here's the blurb:

Seven children born with a genius gene

One professor that connects them all

Hundreds of forgotten gravesZero explanation

A unique group of children who should have been celebrated worldwide as outstanding products of bio-technology, are instead abandoned, betrayed, and anonymous. An ordinary girl next door, a homeless boy rummaging through rubbish, a pampered rich kid. The mysterious disappearance of one of them brings out of hiding Professor Harald Wolff, the genetic engineer who created them. No longer the distinguished scientist he once was; he is now blind, broken, and a recluse.

Brought together, the remaining children's abilities evolve in unusual and unexpected ways. Forced to confront an unknown enemy, the full potential of their genius is unlocked. But exceptional as they are, they must learn the dangers of being too clever for their own good, and that they are just one small strand in the complex web of life.

No ordinary tale of good vs evil, this story warns of the evil that lurks inside, and the struggle to triumph over it with good. And so the Ingenious children must combine their unique gifts to combat the evil within – resulting in an epic battle of the world’s greatest minds.

"A fascinating and beguiling mix of the fragility of human nature, with a dash of science, and the natural world."
