Keen's insights on the way that women wield power over men -- and his advice about how men need to put women into perspective and see them as human beings -- are worthwhile, though a bit overblown to the point where I was reminded of Camille Paglia. Keen is an engaging writer, but ultimately he argues from the false premise that humans were once peaceful goddess worshipers. Because that isn't true (a noble savage myth perpetuated by feminist anthropologists) Keen's observations on human nature and the need to alter masculinity to return to this peaceful state of nature and harmony don't work.
