unluckycat13's review against another edition
The book does start out acknowledging queer and disabled people, and it does talk about other countries with a non dismissive and non bigoted attitude, however the author is very quick to paint groups of people (such as western women, or British women) with a singular brush. Despite admitting that the so called standard male doesn't represent men in general, she's very argumentative in favor of a standard female model. It's hard to untangle her personal views on sex and gender from the rest of the book and the more you begin to think about it, the worse it gets.
I would generally not recommend this book, and while it is a nice organization of some studies I have heard most of them before elsewhere.
Being a book about sexism, you can expect a TW warning for basically literally every topic, albeit only passingly.

It's very statistic heavy, and relentless, but a must read imo.
