Publisher's Synopsis
Male readers may find some solace in Richards's "Is There Anything Good About Men?" Mr. Richards is less concerned about the wimpification of modern man than about the degree to which men have been historically "exploited." The very cultures that men have built, he says, have considered males more expendable than women... But men, Mr. Richards says, are often taken for granted and denigrated as the bane of female existence, with some gender activist insisting that women would be better off without them. In a feisty rejoinder, Mr. Richards says that "'if women really would have been happier without men, they would have set up shop on their own long ago.
