	Susan Faludi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Susan C. Faludi (born April 18, 1959) is a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and author of two well-known books: Backlash: The Undeclared War Against American Women (1992; ISBN 0-385-42507-4) and Stiffed: The Betrayal of the American Man (1999).
		Faludi attempted to show that many who argue that "a women's place is at the home, looking after the kids" are hypocrites, since they (or their wives) are exactly like the women they are criticising.
		Faludi was born in Queens, New York in 1959 and grew up in Yorktown Heights, New York.

		Faludi says she quickly discovered that most of men's purported anger at women was a superficial expression of much deeper problems affecting the men themselves.
		Faludi expects it might be difficult for men to admit they are at the mercy of forces much more powerful than they are.
		Susan Faludi says that if a new coalition is to be effective it will then have to find new ways of challenging the powerful and seductive commercial culture that dominates many societies today.

		Susan Faludi is really a hoot; after having the heady experience of being the luckiest and most over-rated and celebrated journalist of the 1990s with a shallow and self-serving piece of popular feminist sociology "Backlash", she now dares to try to make history repeat itself.
		Faludi attributes all sorts of contemporary cultural maladies and madness to chic pseudo-psychological causes, attempting to draw a comprehensive portrait of contemporary American males en route as the hopelessly flawed artifacts of an antiquated male-dominated culture whose characteristics are now failing males themselves.

	Susan Faludi coaches "Fight Club" author - Salon
		Susan Faludi was reading from her new book on the disappointed and disenfranchised modern American male, "Stiffed," to a standing-room-only crowd at Powell's, Portland, Ore.'s massive indie bookstore.
		Faludi put forth that she was on the "book tour diet," consisting mainly of hurried bites between flights and hotel mini-bar fare.
		Faludi then coached Palahniuk on how best to finesse the verbal fencing on "Politically Incorrect," on which she had just appeared and he was slated.

		Faludi came to her analysis as a feminist, presumably from the political left--yet much of what she says was anticipated 20 years ago by neoconservative Christopher Lasch in "The Culture of Narcissism," when he opined that most modern Americans don't get the opportunity to do truly meaningful work.
		Faludi offers an analysis that is both sweeping and penetrating, if not quite as original as her work in "Backlash." Moreover, she probably could have done just as well in arguing her thesis of male anger at marginalization in a post-industrial and post-modern society with a more disciplined and slimmer volume.
		Susan Faludi mines Aldrin's book, as well as others, for evidence of a devolution of the importance of individual skill and the emergence of an "ornamental culture" at NASA in which the astronauts were little more than props for a larger publicity campaign.

		Faludi is a meticulous and complete reporter, and any attempt from me to distill into a few short paragraphs the work she packs into 606 pages of prose and 39 more of notes would do a thorough disservice to the book.
		No, Faludi had not risked her life at the front lines of a war, painted a moving portrait of hope in poverty, or performed any of the other tricks the media use to add emotion to the coverage of issues, invariably blurring the discussion.
		Faludi calls it “ornamental culture,” introduces us to a wide array of men who have been beaten down by it and shows how men’s problems are very much the same as women’s, a culture that plays down real worth while accentuating image and artiface.

		Faludi's journey through the modern masculine landscape takes her into the lives of individual men whose accounts reveal the heart of the male dilemma.

	MenWeb MenWeb Susan Faludi - Stiffed : Book Review
		Until Faludi has the integrity to acknowledge and apologize for her own monumental contribution to our social morays of gender lashings and backlashes, her pretty prose and cover-girl pose now on newsstands across Western Civilization are largely commercial opportunism.
		Faludi has much too much to answer for, before she so gratuitously asserts, 'that feminism is so big-hearted that it can encompass an enlightened welfare and justice for men'.
		Faludi's condescending self-justification for sexist feminism and her own historic central role in it, shows how absurdly myopic, hopelessly narcissistic, and cruelly inhumane are American feminism's high priestesses.

		Faludi's "Backlash" made a huge splash by pandering to a fundamental fact of female psychology: the great majority of women want to do what other women are doing, and they want other women to do what they are doing.
		In fact, Faludi wrote "Backlash" because she was scandalized that Newsweek had dared to publish an article about the difficulties that single women of Faludi's age faced in getting married.
		Thus, Susan Faludi, who reportedly received a $1.7 million advance for "Stiffed", and others of her ilk can look forward to a long and well-paid career in cyberspace.

		Faludi acknowledges that the members of the Dawg Pound, too, were eventually seduced by the ornamental culture, when their antics became staged for TV and they began scheming to market themselves.
		Faludi notes a turning point, in 1977, when TV revenues for the first time exceeded gate receipts – when, in effect, fans such as the Dawg Pound were no longer the NFL’s most important source of revenue.
		Faludi’s Dawg Pound certainly seem to be the least serious of the casualties among her betrayed males, their loss of a football team inconsequential compared to, say, the closing of the Long Beach Naval Shipyard, which she profiles in an earlier chapter.

	Backlash: The Undeclared War against American Women Summary & Essays - Susan Faludi (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Susan Faludi’s bestselling book, Backlash: The Undeclared War Against American Women, is a methodically researched and documented work challenging conventional wisdom about the American women’s movement and women’s gains in achieving equality in the latter years of the twentieth century.
		In her book, Faludi takes the press to task for failing to challenge the myths about women in the 1980s and especially for spreading, through ‘‘trend journalism,’’ stories about how unhappy women are, despite their having reaped the benefits of women’s liberation in the 1970s.
		Faludi challenges the prevailing wisdom that the women’s movement is to blame for women’s unhappiness; she believes their unhappiness actually stems from the fact that the struggle for equality is not yet finished.

		Faludi shows how men were taught by their fathers to assume inheritance of a world they would firmly control -- it turns out they don't control it at all and there is an overwhelming sense of parental abandonment.
		Loss of economic authority, devaluation of loyalty, their fathers' silence and the elevation of the ornamental as the standard of personal worth lie at the heart of men's discontent and men have not rebelled because no simple enemy is responsible.
		But that, for Faludi, offers hope in a conclusion that men and women have an opportunity to move beyond an adversarial relationship to create change together, to create a new paradigm for human progress that will open doors for both sexes as they fight the dilemma of mutually being powerless in a modern, corporate-dominated society.
