The Theory of Monkey Business and the Knave in Distress
By Haitham Abdalla
How did FeminISM become FeminISIS?
And when did the fight for equality turn into one of the greatest social cock-ups of all time?
After the breakout success of his first flash fiction collection, Haitham Abdalla returns with a fearless, funny, and brutally honest exploration of feminism, gender equality, and the absurdities that come with both.
This is not a lecture. It's a mind map - a satirical guide through the tangled web of modern gender politics, where good intentions meet cultural confusion, and everyone's a little bit ridiculous somewhere along the way.
With wit and sharp social commentary, Abdalla teases and tests your beliefs about feminism, meninism, inclusivity, and identity. He asks uncomfortable questions, pokes fun at social dogmas, and invites readers to look beyond slogans and hashtags to the messy, human truths beneath them.
Touching on issues such as:
The rise (and fall) of inclusive feminism
Cultural appropriation and trauma-centered activism
The meninism backlash and its contradictions
How gender narratives shift across global cultures
From cheeky hypotheticals - like what would happen if all women got their periods at the same time - to biting reflections on progress, privilege, and perspective, FeminISM vs. FeminISIS is a humorous yet thoughtful reminder that equality isn't a competition - it's a conversation.
Because, let's be honest:
Men aren't dropped off by storks,
and women aren't gravity-defying creatures.
