5.0 out of 5 stars Puts to rest a good deal of nonsense. Very interesting. 16 Jan 2003
By zonaras - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
This book deals about the differences between males and females and why the two sexes think and behave in different ways. Wilson, from Darwinist evoloutionary theory, proves that the differences are ordained genetically because males and females have different roles to play in the reproduction of the human species. This fires the cannon through feminist theories that the sexes are the same. The sexes are not the same, but there is no issue of equality involved because the sexes have both strong and weak points in different areas.

Men are more agressive, prone to anger, more sexually adventurous, have better visuo-spatial skills and are slightly smarter. Women are more passive, conservative in thier sexual behavior, empathetic, caring and take a more subjective view of life. These, of course are generalizations, not the exceptions, as the author notes.

At the end of the book, it seems that men come off as smarter, more intellegent and in control than women. But the author is free to admit that women are morally superior to men, because it is the male drive towards crime and agression that is the fault of most social problems and wars. Feminism does have legitamite claims, but it is dead wrong by postulating that "society" forces males and females to act certain ways when these are dictated by simple biological function. Feminists should make thier case by appealing to senses of morals and honor towards females rather than making dictates based on faulty scientific theory.
