This book upset my wife and so she made me read it. Being a man, at first I thought it was a joke; women taking control of the world. However, after watching the news about the war in Iraq yesterday, I stopped laughing and started thinking. I served in the Vietnam War were 57,000 Americans were murdered - my two uncles fought in WWII and my father's cousin was killed in WWI. The author is right about war - men have killed each other for thousands of years. It's also true that men are destroying the environment; the author's examples can't be denied. The quotes from famous men from many ages and cultures were interesting. The connection of male domination of women with man-made religion and over-population is plausible. Over-all, the book's theory is thought-provoking and depressing. I now see why this book upset my wife; it makes you aware of the ugly side of man which is why I'm sorry I read it.

I found this to be an excellent and very thought-provoking book. Dr. Marshall presents a theory that is both timely and relevant given the state of affairs we are currently faced with in the world. He supports his ideas with a wealth of detailed information, and the reader is left with the impression that he has spent a very long time gathering all of these facts and presenting them in such a cohesive and unified manner. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who cares about what is happening in the world, from those concerned with the environment to those worried about social/political issues on local, national and international levels. This book gives the reader much to think about and, equally important, gives one concrete and achievable action steps that can be accomplished on an individual level to affect positive change in the world.

According to the author, men and Christianity are to blame for all the problems on earth. It all has to do with our Freudian impulses (big surprise). If women, esp. non-white ones, ruled the world, we'd have an ecological, egalitarian, pagan paradise. Such idiotic nonsense is the worst by-product of radical leftism out there. I almost wish that women would rule the world for 20 years or so; then we could see how much crap all of this is.

To the reviewer below me from Kiev, titled "THIS IS A STUPID BOOK": You are exactly like the men the author refers to.

This book is a wake up call to the human race. Men are just plain bad, and this book proves it. Please, name one female Ted Bundy, Hitler, Sadam Hussein, or Charles Manson. Every life form on the planet has grown and evolved except the human male. ...
