Is there anything good about men?: how cultures flourish by exploiting men

Challenging the widely accepted view that gender politics began with men exploiting and oppressing women, Baumeister says that men and women have mostly been partners, and gender inequalities arose because wealth, knowledge, and power were created by men in the often rough and brutal competition that was the engine of progress and civilization.

This thoughtful and engaging book offers a new vision of maleness that does not tell men that they should try to be more like women.
