Negative Positive
Title: This book is full of unsubstantiated assertions.
Review: Warren Farrell is not fair to his feminist opponents. In fact, he asserts that feminists have not considered the male sex role, and that he is the first to do so. This is far from true. Furthermore, he most often does not quote feminists directly; he prefers to allude to what he perceives to be feminist thinking. He also makes the mistake of assuming that society is governed by feminist ideals.I found a few disturbing errors in this book. One is so glaring that I wonder if it is in fact an error. He states that Laurie Dann injured or murdered only men and boys, and either exaggerates or fabricates her other violent activities, and offers the Chicago Tribune as a citation for this. If one checks the actual articles (05/21/88), however, one will see that two girls, Kathryn Miller and Lindsay Fisher were shot. I wonder why he felt compelled to make this distortion. In my opinion, it makes his arguments look very weak.
Is the review positive or negative?
