This book was very well written. It explains different opinions and viewpoints relating to topics concerning gender and sex roles of men and women. I liked that it was all based on real people and opinions. They gave legitimate explanations and reasons why they believed what they did. Something that didn’t seem to work, at least for me, was that they referred back to their opponents’ side. In more than just a few pieces the author was contradict what their opponent said rather than have their own material ready whether their opponent said what they did or not. Another thing that could have been changed was the layout of the book. All the topics were relevant to the main concept of the book but the order seemed a little abstract and random rather than put together in an orderly fashion. But on the plus side the sociology in the book was very realistic and again that goes along with the fact that it was real people that could give specific examples from their lives to justify their opinions. It might have been inaccurate but then again there’s no way to say if it is or not because the main topics (the question prompts each author followed) were all opinion questions. Finally, the authors all spoke with intelligence and in a way anyone could understand. This book was extremely easy to follow and even easier to understand. The ideas and concepts were laid out in the open and then it always ended up so you could think about and relate to it in your own way.
