I don't know what was more obnoxious: the conflation of the criticism of evolutionary psychology with criticism of evolutionary theory in general, the suggestion that the author is some sort of brave iconoclast for daring to suggest that male and female psychology is naturally different, or the implication that male violence is at least partially feminists' (read: women's) fault for largely rejecting evolutionary psychology.

I think that's an uncharitable take of the reviewer.

Better outcomes might require admitting there are differences in order to act on them.

If you believe men and women are behaviourally identical when they are not and this results in crime or social issues that could be avoided then there is a problem.

As an aside: it should be noted that the vast majority of the criticism of evolutionary psychology is not political.

Seems like the subject gets political very quickly and that criticism is often political. But I accept the truth of a science is independent of politics.

Do you think evolutionary psychology is wrong? Does this depend on what you mean by evolutionary psychology?

You can certainly use a pop psychology book as a source, but I would recommend going straight to the 'research data' the article mentions when possible.

Well it is a pop psychology that refers to actual science.

Buss’s thesis – which is extremely well supported by the research data – is that male and female sexuality is, in general, different, and that these differences produce conflict, sometimes in strange and subtle ways.

That seems like a good point.

I suppose gc generally think all gender differences are cultural.

But I was interested in this because this was a feminist in a left wing publication admitting there maybe something to this.
