A lot of this book makes sense and talks about some large problems about women and their relationships with themselves, each other and men.
But the male conspiracy stuff is just stupid and the bullshit logic is just silly. I note she is a mate of Goleman – the emotional intelligence pretend scientist, and her writings follow this nonsense quite closely.
Naomi certainly opens your mind to some interesting ideas – but her logic culdesacs and extreme extrapolations just hurt her arguments.
I hope that serious sociologists and feminists can use it as a launching pad for some real research and writing on a very interesting social issue: why is beauty such a big deal?
