About this product

Product Information

Much of what is written and taught today presumes that most of the differences between men and women have been caused by society and so can be altered. Once this is done, men and women will become alike. And so men are challenged, hectored, and lectured to change from the old dominant male to become the New Man, to get in touch with their feminine side...But what if that feminine side does not exist?Anne and Bill Moir show that in fact men's brains are wired very differently from women's, and so their reactions to stimuli cannot be the same. At work, at home, at school, in bed, men and women march to different drummers. Thus, increasing feminization of society, of food, and of education is detrimental to men, and eventually will be to women, too. To understand men's desires and their drives is to comprehend the forces in society that many academics of gender studies deny. Here are a few examples of what sets men apart: -- Men can lose weight by exercise alone, but women must combine diet changes and exercise. -- Among the mathematically gifted, there are thirteen boys for every one girl. -- Boys excel in areas that require three-dimensional thought processing, girls in verbal skills. -- Testosterone fuels the sex drive in both men and women, but he has ten times more of it. -- His brain is built for action, hers for talking; he does, she communicates. Why Men Don't Iron offers a scientific and contrary view of the fascinating and sometimes unbridgeable differences between men and women.
