Summary
Is it true that men are more aggressive, more highly sexed, physically stronger; that women are more emotional, more dependent, more interested in people? This clear and unbiased account explores every aspect of sex differences--in intellect, emotion, relationships, sexuality, and physique. Drawing on evidence from scientific research and survey material, Nicholson distinguishes between real and perceived sex differences and attempts to determine whether real differences are biologically or culturally imposed. He presents some astonishing findings that challenge the myths held by those on both sides of this debate.
