Search - Are Men Necessary?: When Sexes Collide

Maureen Dowd is a political columnist for the New York Times with a wicked sense of humor. In this book she wanders a little far afield into the contentious world of relations between the sexes. I'm not sure it is all completely accurate from a scientific point of view, but it is not a screaming diatribe against men, either. If taken in the proper spirit, this is a fun and funny series of columns about men, women and how they relate to each other.

I like Maureen Dowd's writing and parts of this book were very funny - NOT at all the man-hating diatribe some people have accused it of being. I did find though that it came across as a mishmash of thoughts and personal recollections and there were times when I found myself wondering what the point of the book was. A fun light read.

some very very profound perspectives brought to the surface concerning gender inequality in our culture. Wonderfully interesting read. Would recommend to others.

This was a great book to read after a breakup or fight with a boyfriend... very amusing and entertaining... especially for an intelligent woman. :-)
