Why Men Don't & Women Can't is an infuriating read that gives one the impression society hasn't moved on much since The First World War. And judging by the sales of this Number 1 Bestseller, it clearly hasn't.

Clearly the notion of the book will strike a chord with a general public, drawn to the bright lights of 21st century 'evidence' of how everything we experience is inherent in our brains and everything about us is genetic, however the book serves to totally reject the social impacts and hence has a strongly biased, stereotyping and generalized definition of gender, from which the entire pathos of the book derives. If you are devoutly allied to the former in the Nature vs Nurture debate, you may herald this as some literary masterpiece, however if you have a wider viewpoint and the ability to rationalize thought, this book may, as it has to me, anger you with its opinions.
