Torment Is a Man: Androphobia

About this book

Torment Is a Man enters the inner lives of women living with an intense fear of men and the injuries that gave it form. Marwa Hassan Abu Fati presents interconnected experiences of love, betrayal, loss, and psychological conflict, focusing on the difficult relationship between longing for intimacy and protecting oneself from further harm. The book does not treat these women as abstractions; it allows their fears, contradictions, and desire for change to emerge through emotionally charged stories. At its center is an unresolved question: can love become a source of recovery, or does it risk reopening the past and turning promised freedom into another prison?
