Warnung! Dieses Buch ist nichts für Männer, die sich selbst für ein "Alpha-Männchen" halten oder zart besaitet sind.Warum? Weil dieses Buch aufzeigen wird, warum gerade "Alphas", "Hypermännchen", "echte Männer", die Ursache für das immer wiederkehrende Leid von Völkermorden, Kriegen, Zerstörung, Armut, Ungerechtigkeit, Korruption und Wirtschaftskollapse sind. Genau diese Vorwürfe lassen sogenannte "Hypermännchen" und kritikunfähige "Alphas" erfahrungsgemäß sofort laut aufheulen und reflexartig um sich beißen. Dennoch bestimmt genau dieser Männertypus seit Jahrtausenden das Wohl und Wehe von Milliarden Menschen. Nicht etwa, weil sie die Besten und am Geeignetsten für diese Aufgabe wären, sondern vielmehr deshalb, weil es ihnen mit ihrem unbedingten Machtwillen und ihrer brutalen Rücksichtslosigkeit gelungen ist, ein ganz auf sie und ihren Egoismus zugeschnittenes Gesellschaftssystem zu etablieren: die hierarchische Pyramide. In diesem Pyramiden-System manifestiert sich das männliche Prinzip so überproportional, dass Völkermorde, Kriege, Zerstörung, Armut, Ungerechtigkeit, Korruption, Verteilungskämpfe und Wirtschaftskollapse unausweichliche Folgen sind. Das gauben Sie nicht? Zu weit hergeholt und wieder mal nur böses, ungerechtes, gehässiges Männer-Bashing? Dann begeben Sie sich mit Barbara Winter auf Spurensuche. Mit unverstelltem Blick. Lassen Sie dabei das perfektionierte Brainwashing, das jedem von uns in der patriarchal-hierarchischen Pyramide von Kindesbeinen an zuteil geworden ist, hinter sich. Wir wünschen Ihnen viele erhellende Momente.
