Les hommes ont tué l’amour

Join us on Saturday 25 November at 6pm for the launch and signing of Sabrina Erin Gin’s new book, Les hommes ont tué l’amour.

Romantic love is presented as the only ideal source of a relationship based on shared values, reciprocity of feelings and equality. Bad luck, patriarchy is here to stay. And love, as we experience it, is nothing more than a social construct… a shitty construct.

How can we aspire to healthy, lasting relationships when patriarchal, capitalist society imposes inequality on couples? Is romantic love really worth it for heterosexual women? Why should we love men? Do they really love women? Sabrina Erin Gin draws on biology, neuroscience, sociology and history to analyse the deception of today’s heterosexual couple. A fascinating text that teaches us to invent other ways of loving, of making a home, so that we can finally experience romance.
