Almost all of the people he cites are men. It took until his fifth subject to mention a female subject. He calls Jefferson and Mao statesmen. He says some racist and Islamophobic stuff. I think the book has some value but you have to wade through his philosophy that has no basis in his research and keep in mind he has a ton of bias. At one point he says, "A rape may not be distinguishable from a loving encounter."

Reads like Jordan Peterson with a little more empirical research. Would have given it 1 star if I hadn’t gotten at least something out of it.
I mean… „Consciously or not, many young girls feel that becoming pregnant is the only really adult thing they can do.“ or „Only when it’s too late - when the wife has become dependent on alcohol, when the children have turned into cold strangers - do many men wake up to the fact that the family, like any other joint enterprise, needs constant investments of psychic energy to assure its existence.“
Sure, Jan.
