布莱恩·卡普兰认为，女权主义的论点——社会普遍对男性比女性更公平——缺乏证据支持。他认为，通过比较男性和女性在收入、职业成功、约会等方面的差异，可以发现男性在许多方面也面临劣势，例如更高的犯罪率、自杀率、无家可归率等。他认为，女权主义的流行源于人们普遍更关心女性的福祉和痛苦，但这种关心被提升为一种哲学体系后，会走向极端，导致不切实际的追求一致性和压制质疑。他建议，应该先调查女性是否真的处于劣势地位，如果事实并非如此，那么关注的焦点应该转向男性；同时，应该以个案的方式处理不公平待遇，而不是将问题归咎于性别。他还指出，女权主义在个人层面主要通过助长负面情绪（反感和自怜）来损害女性，并对男性造成不公平对待，例如#MeToo运动后女性导师减少。他认为，男性群体中也存在类似的负面情绪，这并非女权主义独有。他建议人们应该关注可控因素，与积极的人相处，改变与人的相处模式，以提升个人能动性。他还谈到了社会赞许偏差，以及它在政治和日常生活中广泛存在，它会影响信息传递的效率和准确性。最后，他还讨论了对生育的妖魔化，以及它与女权主义、个人主义和文化因素的关系。
