«El varón domado» is the philosophical essay by Esther Vilar, published by Grijalbo in 1973, in hardback (167 pages, in Spanish).
In this work, Vilar argues that woman is not the oppressed party in the couple, but the one who manages the relationship: with tricks and manipulations she tames man, pushes him to earn money and offers her anatomy as compensation. The author defends a heterodox reading of feminism and questions the myths about the female role.
The catalogued edition is the 2nd, published in Barcelona. The book is classified in the Philosophy category.
For essay readers interested in the social debate on gender relations and feminism.
Esther Margareta Vilar is an Argentine-German writer. She trained and practised as a medical doctor before establishing herself as an author. She is best known for her 1971 book The Manipulated Man and its various follow-ups, which argue that, contrary to common feminist and women's rights rhetoric, women in industrialized cultures are not oppressed, but rather exploit a well-established system of manipulating men.
