A man and his Great Terror

Article Abstract:

Neil Lyndon's book 'No More Sex War' was published after ten rejections because of its malicious anti-feminism. He wrote it out of intellectual conviction, not personal experience. It states that women's freedom has been achieved because of the Pill and abortion, not because of feminism. His ambitions since he was 19 were to become a father and to write. He has been divorced twice and his only son lives with his mother in Scotland.
