★★☆☆☆
Cherry picking and extremists on both sides
I have to give her 2 stars just for the work she did - but just by 'Googling' her sources and the other research in those areas you can find data contrary to what is presented in her book. As far as the content and style.... I found myself agreeing with her views more in some chapters more than others. At times I found her tone as preachy as the radical fems she rails against - very generalizing and almost shrill which was a big turn-off for me as a reader. I was hoping this would help with a real discussion on what feminism is and it's place in 2005/6 but it fell short of my expectations. Extremists on BOTH sides of the topics covered are the outliers...the truth may lie in the middle - but that doesn't sell many books does it?
