She edited Sons of Feminism: Men Have Their Say, a collection of essays about men's experiences, in 2017. She has lectured to many university students and been protested and "cancelled" by the same for arguing that feminism is a hateful, bigoted ideology that discriminates against men, weakens the family, and will potentially destroy western societies' freedom and prosperity.
