I expected a book of fun/infuriating tales of men explaining things to women who all knew more about the topic than they ever would. 

What I got was a book about why this phenomenon exists. One of the things that really stuck with me relates to marriage equality. The reason so many people oppose it – the reason they say it threatens so-called traditional marriage – is because the kind of marriage they’re trying to preserve aren’t equal. They see marriage as a hierarchy, so if two people of the same gender get married, how will they know which one’s the boss? And what if it gives straight women the idea that they’re entitled to be equals in marriage?

I’d be very curious to hear what the author has to say about recent happenings.
