The Masculine Principle (2013)
The Masculine Principle explores such topics as the historical misogyny of religions, myths & legends and the civilizations related to them, with a particular focus on Christianity and Western Civilization's rise and decline. Sexuality, the nature of hypergamy and Briffault's law are discussed in relation to the structure of society, focusing on how the forces of the 19th Century Suffragette Movement combined with Second Wave Feminism and Marxism have deconstructed the pillars of Western Culture. An underlying theme is the Nature of Truth and how it has changed through time as the Masculine Principle has been displaced by the rising Feminine Principle.

Nothing Higher to Live For: A Buddhist View of Romantic Love (2005) -- by Bhikkhu Nyanasabhano (Leonard Price)
"Practically nobody questions the supremacy of romantic love, which is good enough reason to do a little poking around the foundations of its pedestal. Who is entirely satisfied with the romance in his or her life? Who has found the sublime rapture previously imagined? And if one has actually found such a thing, does it last, or does it not rather change and decline from the peak of ecstasy? And if it declines what becomes of one's purpose in life? If a purpose is achieved it is no longer a purpose; it can no longer guide or sustain us. Does one taste of nectar satisfy us forever?"

"... If we don't live for love we won't die for it either."

Principles of Seduction (2003)
Women are sick! That's the general thrust of the Bonecrker, who was the principle author of this brief but brilliant book. Mapping out "their disease" and adjusting your life accordingly in the areas of dating, sex and relationships is what's needed according to the author, who has particularly good insights and is clearly spoken in the realm of seduction and maintaining relational power with women. A refreshing element in this work is an almost complete lack of Pick-Up Artist's jargon, accompanied by the author's obviously principled moral values - despite his recommendations of never becoming monagamous with a woman.

Sex-Ploytation (1999) -- by Matthew Fitzgerald (PDF)
The beauty about this book is that it is blunt, straightforward, in your face, and there is no dithering about. In other words: It is a man's book! And, most importantly, it gives the reader a very good insight into how, and why, men have ended up being treated like fourth-class citizens and how it is that they have recently even been described as 'parasites' by academic biologists.

The History of Rome (excerpts) - Titus Livius (59BC-17AD)
There are a lot of truths in this story of women's rebellion in Ancient Rome, and it is from here that we get the following famous quote by Cato the Censor:
.
"If you allow them to pull away these restraints and wrench them out one after another, and finally put themselves on an equality with their husbands, do you imagine that you will be able to tolerate them? From the moment that they become your fellows they will become your masters."
.
The most remarkable thing I personally find about this story is the striking similarities of the Ancient Roman Women's reaction to suggestions that they ought to moderate their dress for the betterment of society, and the Slut Walkers that exist in our modern day culture.

Rulers Ruled by Women: An Economic Analysis of the Rise and Fall of Women's Rights in Sparta
.
http://no-maam.blogspot.ca/2010/11/whats-next-cries-of-sparta.html
Click Pic for "Rulers Ruled by Women"
ABSTRACT: Throughout most of history, women as a class have possessed relatively few formal rights. The women of ancient Sparta were a striking exception. Although they could not vote, Spartan women reportedly owned 40 percent of Sparta’s agricultural land and enjoyed other rights that were equally extraordinary. We offer a simple economic explanation for the Spartan anomaly. The defining moment for Sparta was its conquest of a neighboring land and people, which fundamentally changed the marginal products of Spartan men’s and Spartan women’s labor. To exploit the potential gains from a reallocation of labor – specifically, to provide the appropriate incentives and the proper human capital formation – men granted women property (and other) rights. Consistent with our explanation for the rise of women’s rights, when Sparta lost the conquered land several centuries later, the rights for women disappeared. Two conclusions emerge that may help explain why women’s rights have been so rare for most of history. First, in contrast to the rest of the world, the optimal (from the men’s perspective) division of labor among Spartans involved women in work that was not easily monitored by men. Second, the rights held by Spartan women may have been part of an unstable equilibrium, which contained the seeds of its own destruction.

“The moon had been observing the earth close-up longer than anyone. It must have witnessed all of the phenomena occurring - and all of the acts carried out - on this earth. 

But the moon remained silent; it told no stories. All it did was embrace the heavy past with a cool, measured detachment. 

On the moon there was neither air nor wind. Its vacuum was perfect for preserving memories unscathed. No one could unlock the heart of the moon. 

Aomame raised her glass to the moon and asked, “Have you gone to bed with someone in your arms lately?” 

The moon did not answer. 


“Do you have any friends?” she asked. 


The moon did not answer. 


“Don’t you get tired of always playing it cool?”


The moon did not answer."

An interesting theme Devlin touches on is the cultural changes that resulted in the home turning from a place of production into a place of consumption.
