Synopsis

In a world where gender equality is often misinterpreted as female superiority, The Forgotten Man sheds light on the unspoken struggles of men in modern society. This book is not an attack on women but rather a bold defense of the boy child, the struggling husband, the overlooked father, and the silenced man.

For decades, men have been expected to be providers, protectors, and leaders, yet today, they find themselves disposable—only valued for their financial contributions while being denied emotional validation, legal fairness, and societal appreciation.

Through eight thought-provoking chapters, the book explores:

How laws, education, and cultural biases have placed men at a disadvantage.

Why modern feminism, while empowering women, has often come at the cost of silencing men.

The double standards in relationships, parenting, work, and justice, where men are expected to give everything while receiving little in return.

The consequences of ignoring men's struggles, including broken families, rising male depression, and the increasing number of men withdrawing from relationships and fatherhood.

Religious and cultural perspectives on masculinity and how they have been manipulated to control men.

Practical solutions for restoring fairness and balance—urging men to reclaim their value, set boundaries, and demand respect.

The Forgotten Man is not just a book—it is a call to action. It challenges readers to rethink gender roles, push for true equality, and create a society where men and women stand side by side—not one where men are reduced to providers while women enjoy all the benefits.

In the end, this book asks the crucial question:

Should men continue to tolerate this injustice, or is it time to rise and demand fairness?
