PUSSYWHIPPED: The Emasculation of Humanity is a stinging in-depth look at the abuse of aggressive anger and its malignant effects on society. This highly controversial, politically incorrect work defends good men and their rights as fathers… infuriates unenlightened women, especially male-bashers… and champions the rights and needs of our children. As author Maya Emmett reflects on major life-changing events in her personal life with extensive updates, she passionately explores the role of religion, the victims of victims, the true nature of Woman and so much more. Experience varying degrees of emotional highs and lows as she fearlessly delves into the truth of our struggles to peacefully coexist, culminating with a thought-provoking love poem, which speaks to the soul of every man from the untainted spirit of every woman. New for 2017, from an enlightened man, is a beautiful complementary poem to the “hopeful” romantic in every woman. Of note, this book was first published in 2000, under the reluctantly revised title, KILLING ADAM, due to widespread censorship on the Internet. After enduring constant publisher blunders and unethical actions, as well as blatant plagiarism, Maya severed ties and pulled it from the market. Through the years, however, she’s been encouraged to get it back on the market and finally made the decision to update and republish this work but with its original title, PUSSYWHIPPED. She believes the timing is right, considering the heightened awareness of the incendiary state of gender politics in this country, and its far-reaching effects on our society, especially our children. “Your writing is fluid… so easy to read… and you delivered your position with grace and elegance. The message was so painful… and the writing so beautiful… made me think of those photos of Nazi concentration camps with a backdrop of Beethoven’s symphonies. The juxtaposition was shocking.” Camille Moffat (Cami Hedrick) Virginia USA Informal Comment         Excerpt Gender has no relevance I submit that if a man cannot adequately provide for his family, he feels powerless. If he suffers systematic abuses in the workplace, he feels powerless. If his wife (or companion) resorts to verbal abuse, or deliberately deprives him of comfort, peace, or sexual pleasure, he feels powerless. If she causes him to feel inadequate by expressing dissatisfaction with their standard of living, he feels powerless. If his children do not respect him and the home he has provided, he feels powerless. Society defines “masculinity” and “femininity” to keep women as servile and nonthreatening companions to prevent men from feeling weak and emasculated, that they may feel more powerful.(20) When a man feels powerless, he is capable of aggressively asserting himself where permitted, where there is weakness. In his quest for some semblance of power, he will fight back. Unfortunately, this fight often ensues in the home, where he will insist upon ruling as king of his castle and endeavor to exert control over those he believes are weaker—the subjects who dwell within his domain. Or, worse, he will actualize the fantasy of ruling his own kingdom, and abduct, imprison, abuse, and rape children and women. (Some female captives are impregnated.) Many of his victims are murdered, or die while in captivity. Spousal abuse, and child abuse and molestation are on the rise. So too are the circumstances, which fertilize the breeding ground for feelings of powerlessness, such as economic deprivation and work-related stressors (for those fortunate enough to be employed). The media also contribute to these feelings of powerlessness by continually focusing on what is negative in our society. Daily, we hear news of senseless murders, thefts, abuses, and hopelessness instead of the thousands of triumphant overcomers and those who treat others with compassion and kindness. The stress associated with such bombardment further promotes fear and feelings of powerlessness over one’s circumstances. Men feel the need not only to provide, but also to protect their families. What happens when they are made to feel powerless to provide that care and protection? Fear brings torment. Often that tormenting fear can lead to familicide—defined as “The murder of an entire family by a family member, followed by suicide.”(21) This perpetrator, who, by the way, can also be female, is also called “family annihilator.” These individuals are, of course, mentally ill, even though the act is often viewed as altruistic. Narcissistic would be more accurate, in my opinion, because such an act is centered on a demented self. A torment-fueled (-driven) soul is not well. Many of us (women) are so entangled with issues of women’s rights from the proneness of victim, we have grown insensitive to the pressures forced on men by society’s definition of manhood. Of course, we can insist this is their fault. More insensibility. Still, the fact remains—accept it or not—that our men are also victims on this stage. Across the board, our gender roles are perverse and noxious. We are all injured, even those who stubbornly cling to archaic self-conviction. Husbands and wives soon forget they are brothers and sisters of the human community, first. That is, if they ever realized it at all. I believe studies have shown the best marriages are those in which the saying “Today, I married my friend” becomes the foundation of a new life together, instead of the much-dreaded, legalized Institution of Marriage. Both realize there is power in submission and understand that true power cannot exist without knowing how and when to yield. Gender has no relevance in true power or submission. Greatness is achieved when each is utilized by both genders, not in the abuse of power.

5-Star Amazon Review
“KILLING ADAM The Emasculation Of Humanity by Maya Emmett is an extraordinary work whose time has come. Delivered with compassion and elegance, Ms. Emmett’s powerful call for understanding and restoration between the genders and her compelling insistence on a cease-fire in the gender war is a message that is long overdue. This book is an offered hand to much-maligned manhood and a shot of pure courage for women willing to take a stand and end the hostilities.”

From Graeme W. Jones . Educator
“Killing Adam has successfully thrown a potential explosive into a very select and misunderstood arena, one that is jealously guarded and maintained. It is taboo to some, heresy to others, and a bitter glimmer of hope to more–in short, it is challenging, impossible for many to accept, and upsetting to a fragile status quo and ego compulsory system.”
