His first book The Great Immigration Scandal" (2004) blew the whistle on abuses within the Home Office & led to the resignation of the immigration minister Beverley Hughes. Although attacked at the time by the government & the liberal media for alarmism Moxons analysis has now been adopted by most of the major political parties. Indeed his views on the dangers of multiculturalism were even echoed by the Chairman of the Commission for Racial Equality leading the Evening Standard to claim Moxon appears not so much a racist as a visionary. But immigration was never his primary interest in fact he joined the Home Office in order to study its HR policy as part of a decade-long investigation of men-women. This book is the result. Notwithstanding its provocative title " The Woman Racket" is a serious scientific investigation into one of the key myths of our age
- that women are oppressed by the patriarchal traditions of Western societies. Drawing on the latest developments in evolutionary psychology Moxon finds that the opposite is true
- men or at least the majority of low-status males
- have always been the victims of deep-rooted prejudice. As the prejudice is biologically derived it is unconscious & can only be uncovered with the tools of scientific psychology. The book reveals this prejudice in fields as diverse as healthcare employment family policy & politics: compared to the long & bloody struggle for universal male suffrage women were given the vote in an historical blink of the eye."
