The Male Brain

Oh this book...I chose it to find out interesting things about myself and the male species (because I'm narcissistic, duh). However, all that I ended up reading was a feminist psychologist spouting off about how the Male Brain can't be blamed for being stupid. Her argument was that males are naturally stupid. And I already knew that.

Yes we are attracted to boobs, and yes that is because of evolution. Can we help that? No. Does everybody know that? Yes.

Brizendine uses the same boring strategy throughout the book. She starts off with an anecdote about a male being stupid, then explains why the male is stupid after the boring anecdote, using her "look at me, I'm a psychologist" credentials. All in chronological order. That was the only aspect of the book I liked. She did manage to tie together Male behavior from beginning to end and let you draw the lines between father/son son/father yourself. She wrote it for a (female) educated audience and didn't have to baby us throughout the book.

Would I recommend this book? Maybe if you are a female trapped in your house with no knowledge of how the opposite gender works. But if you are a male, or a female who has talked to a guy, all you are going to read is obvious information from a biased pish posh psychologist.
