Sound Logic

Consider the great women through history you've read about: great women scientists, writers, etc. What do they have in common? They had unusually high levels of testosterone. So pointing to them as proof that a woman can be a genius is self-defeating.

As well-reasoned as a Euclidean proof

This book is a joy to read, if what you like is painstaking, step-by-step logic, with Mr. Goldberg proving the strongest possible case -- that patriarchy is not merely highly probable but inevitable -- using the fewest possible determiners. He dismantles feminist arguments -- putting them forward as reasonably as possible, trying to make sense of them when they themselves do not make sense, and then carefully illustrating the fallacies therein. And not only the fallacies, but the distortions of evidence . . .
