Summary of Bryan Caplan's Don't Be a Feminist

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 Don’t be a feminist if and only if society generally treats men more fairly than women. Otherwise, no one’s going to stop you.

#2 There’s a gender earnings gap, but it is quite small. If you compare single, childless men and women, almost all of the earnings gap goes away. Also, if you compare single, childless men and men who work full-time jobs, the gap remains. b. The Time Gap The second most popular target for the unfairness of modern society is the time gap between men and women. Men do more housework, take more risks, smoke and drink more than women, and so on. 9 However, this does not lead to an unfair outcome: Men are different from women in ways that make them better suited for certain roles. 10 If you compare full-time workers of either sex, most of the time gap disappears. 11 The average man works slightly longer hours than the average woman; he also works longer weeks and longer years. But when you compare their full-time years at work, there is no gender gap in hours worked. 12 -> The first list of unfairness is easy to compile: Men make more money than women, are overrepresented at the top levels of business, government, science, and beyond, and do much less childcare and housework than women.

#3 The first list of modern unfairness is easy to compile: Men make more money than women, are overrepresented at the top levels of business, government, science, and beyond, and do much less childcare and housework than women.

#4 Modern society is not unfair to men. Men are overrepresented at the top levels of business, government, science, and beyond, and they do less childcare and housework than women.
