Sociobiological arguments are used in the first chapter to explain that men have been eugenically created by women to serve female interests, and that while individual women sometimes have a tough lot, the sexual nature of men and their biological disposability give women tremendous power. So much in fact that most of the traits femigogues complain about have been bred into men over millennia by the sexual choices of women. The author's case is made quite well, with a tone that sounds a bit like that of Roy Schenk.
The next chapter highlights how "patriarchy" serves the needs of women by assigning the most dangerous work to men, and only rewarding powerful, or "alpha" males.
Later, the book applies statistical economics methods in an attempt to estimate the number of "sexually deprived" males in the U.S. This is a nearly impossible thing to do, of course, as the author states, but I think it's interesting because of the parallels it shows with the economic theorizing of the left.
The author then tries to give suggestions (wildly unrealistic, of course) that would make Warren Farrell blush, concerning how public policy can be used to create a fairer sexual playing field. If it wasn't so serious, the later portions could almost be a parody. It is important to realize, though, that real personal tragedy lies behind the facts and ideas presented here. The reader would do well to remember that infamous quote from Joseph Stalin: "One death is a tragedy, one million is a statistic."
