Review title: A poorly supported argument
Product review: The author had some interesting ideas, but is far from convincing. I find many of his statistics doubtful. The author sites a study performed by Shere Hite that was so poorly done, many introductory statistics texts give it as an example of what not to do in a study. The author has frightful real-life examples in each chapter, but these are not supporting his arguments. The worst example of this is the rape chapter. The author argues that rape is mainly about procreation, but gives examples of men raping then killing women and women who are sexually tortured, but with whom the men do not copulate.I feel that the author presents some valuable ideas and theories, but that the author's supporting evidence is highly suspect. This is more likely due to the author's lack of statistical knowledge than to any deliberate missinformation.
