Marc H. Rudov is an American author, columnist and radio personality with an MBA from Boston University and an engineering degree from the University of Pittsburgh. Although the bulk of his professional work is in the management of information technology businesses, he is best known for his opposition to Western feminism and his views on women. He thoroughly explains his philosophy in his two books: The Man’s No-Nonsense Guide to Women: How to Succeed in Romance on Planet Earth and Under the Clitoral Hood: How to Crank Her Engine Without Cash, Booze, or Jumper Cables.
Rudov believes that Western feminism, although rational in its inception, has proven unjustly problematic for men over time in the arenas of dating, marriage, divorce, the workplace and criminal justice, to name a few. Also, he believes men should not accept the modern interpretation of chivalry because it forces men to tolerate irrational and selfish behavior from the women in their lives. His thinking is very much in line with the men's rights movement and shares much with masculism.
Among his more controversial views is his belief in the abolition of alimony and child support; and his insistence that women who accept invitations for expensive dates in exchange for sex are, in effect, prostitutes. His rationale is his belief that Western women now earn as much as men and therefore need no money from them.
Rudov expresses his views every Thursday on wsRadio on his one-hour show, then again on Friday on Your World with Neil Cavuto, produced by The Fox News Channel. On Cavuto's show, he verbally spars with Lis Wiehl, legal analyst for Fox and author of The 51% Minority: How Women Still Are Not Equal and What You Can Do About It. During these exchanges Rudov takes an anti-feminist view while Wiehl defends feminism. Rudov also frequently appears on Fox's The O'Reilly Factor, hosted by Bill O'Reilly.
Rudov's column appears in Men's News Daily, a conservative news and information website for men. In addition, his website, The No Nonsense Man, provides free podcasts, his archived columns and recordings of his media appearances.
