Book Reviews of The Mismeasure of Woman
Book Review: Rationally discussed similarities and differences between
Summary: 5 Stars
...men and women. Like the book jacket says, this book will clearly, rationally, and scientifically explain why women are not the weaker sex, the superior sex, nor the opposite sex. While some differences between men and women are obvious (women get pregnant, men don't) some are totally fabricated. Tavris shows the idiocy of insisting that we are "exactly the same" as well as the stupidity of insisting that we are "completely different." Read this book and find out in which ways women and men are more alike than different, and in which ways we cannot be compared. Discover the pitfalls of comparing men to women - and women to men. Examine your biases - double check your assumptions. Excellent. Men should not hestitate to read this book. Neither should women.
