Title: Read "The Second Sex" instead
Review: In regard to all of the so-called "hard wiring" of selfish impulses that Shaunti tries to pass of as unavoidable, I would like to refer to them as conditioned behaviors. Despite the inherent "datedness" of Beauvoir's work (come on, it was published in 1949!), there could be an interesting dialogue about how women choose to resign themselves to passive roles and capitulation between the two books. If you want to find a reason to play into all of the broad societal expectations about your personal appearance, your sexual boundaries, and general steps to becoming a Stepford wife, then this is your book!
