“This is a book of genius in which all the guff of ‘equality’ is exposed for what it is: guff. As he says, ‘There are whole disciplines in universities forthrightly hostile towards men,’ but as he shows ‘to think about culture only as oppressive is ignorant and ungrateful, as well as dangerous.’ Further, ‘absolute equality would therefore require the sacrifice of value itself—and then there would be nothing worth living for.’ A must-read as an antidote to the sloppy thinking—emoting, virtue-signaling rather—that constitutes the current debate on equality and feminism.”
Going beyond arguments for socially constructed ideas of male and female roles, Rhoads draws on scientific evidence to show that differences between men and women are real and deeply rooted in our biology.
