Customer Reviews

An unsparing yet respectful look into gender ideology

Very easy to read, but still well-researched and authoritative. The major flashpoints of gender ideology, and some of their affects on women, are examined. Sports, the term “Woman,” and the unique suggestiveness of adolescent girls are all covered.

Possibly the definitive book on this subject

I'm tempted to take away half a star because of the way Joyce panders to gender ideologues with her use of pronouns, but this book is incredibly well researched and informative, nonetheless. A must read.
