It was interesting, I read most of it, however, I think that Sociology as a science is akin to Astrology. Like many sociologists, he has a need to define his own turf that hasn't been studied ("Guyland") and then repeat lots of pet terms like "entitlement" and "homosocial". He claimed not to be putting "Guyland" down, but you can't help but hear the "tsk, tsk" coming through. He definitely thought that responsible adulthood is the ultimate goal of society (he obviously perceived himself as a member). I guess I was looking for something more upbeat, like "The Man Show" (by the way, Huffington Post says that he is not a "close relation" of Jimmy Kimmel).
