The Victorian Fallacy is an upcoming book by Robert Brockway. The book is named for the Victorian fallacy which Robert has previously proposed.

The book makes argues in favour of a series of points:

  • The feminist historical narrative is largely fiction.
  • A high proportion of the population fall for The Victorian Fallacy.
  • Men have not systematically oppressed women around the world and throughout history.
  • There are no true patriarchies. The feminist notion of The Patriarchy is a myth.
  • There are no true matriarchies.
  • Both men and women have been active participants in societies around the world and throughout history.
  • Societies can be seen to be exploitative of all of their members - links to male disposability
  • Men generally seek to protect and give priority to the needs of women and children.
  • The relative power of women has varied considerably among societies in the ancient world.
  • To demonstrate progress towards egalitarian society involves advancing the political power and education of all people, not just women.
  • Western society is returning to the historical norm of men working full-time and women working part-time and caring for children.
  • When women want to take on typically male roles men generally let them.
  • Ancient societies balanced gender rights and responsibilities.
  • Any society that did not do this was unstable and would either correct or be replaced.
  • Many ancient societies had an understanding men, women and gender relations that is today largely gone.
  • Social struggle since the rise of agricultural has been a class stuggle rather than a gender struggle as feminists would have us believe.
  • The industrial revolution never ended.
