This review is from: Why Men Don't Iron: The Fascinating and Unalterable Differences Between Men and Women (Hardcover)

I don't know what the editor(s) of this book were thinking in terms of the silly way sections end, and certain blanket assertions/assumptions the authors make about society; however, the basic information and research presented are fascinating and important. I wish I felt better about saying everyone should read this thought-provoking book. It would make the world a more humane place for both men and women if more people understood the points this book makes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brain Sex Revisited, January 2, 2001

By 

James Neville (Katy (Houston), TX) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Why Men Don't Iron: The Fascinating and Unalterable Differences Between Men and Women (Hardcover)

Anne Moir's groundbreaking 1990 book "Brain Sex" is reprised here with more on sexuality and biology. What is the true incidence of homosexuality among males? Are health food diets doing men in? Are feminine-influenced teaching styles driving boys out of the economy? Do men really need to "share their feelings"?

Never afraid to be controversial about sacred gender cows, and always throwing in the research data to back up her points, this author entertains and educates. She speaks for better understanding of each other and respect even as we go beyond our biology.

"We tell of the biology which swims within us and, equally, of the social environment in which we swim, so that men and women might rise above both." (Why Men Don't Iron p.22)

5.0 out of 5 stars Why Men are smarter than Women., July 29, 2011

By

This review is from: Why Men Don't Iron: The Fascinating and Unalterable Differences Between Men and Women (Hardcover)

This book is a must read for women. Although men admit they do not understand women, women firmly believe they understand men but they don't have a clue. Intelligence isn't just what you know but also knowing what you don't know which makes men smarter than women. So Ladies, read and be informed. You will find it enlightening and amusing. Men will find it interesting as well. A good couple book but much more important for young single women. Mike
