I can't decide whether her book is going to be helpful to GC feminists or just give a load of MRAs ammunition.

I share you're concerns about MRA's using a twisted version to offer testosterone as a mitigating factor in sexual harrassment etc. It's not my fault testosterone made me do it. Guess they have to choose - all women are liars or all men are sexual predators.
