Masquerade

Like a skilled advocate, Chynoweth has marshaled an impressive body of evidence to counter the claims of radical feminists that men and women differ only in plumbing. He begins by addressing the question of whether there is a right order of the sexes, and proceeds from that to how art, culture, and literature address the issue. -- Michael S. Swisher * The St. Croix Review * Those of us who have addressed the strictly scientific aspects of sex differences have long looked in vain for a work that examines the wide range of likely social effects of these differences. Finally such a work, W. Edward Chynoweth's Masquerade, takes up this challenge. Analyzing a great number of possible manifestations of these differences in modern society, Chynoweth offers a fascinating analysis of what we can expect. Challenging a host of 'politically correct,' but scientifically baseless assumptions that have become widely accepted (without much changing the world that those making the assumptions wish to engender), Chynoweth has written a book as eminently readable as it is valuable. -- Steven Goldberg, CUNY Chynoweth's call to modern men and women is that they clear their heads, admit their follies, and learn to live with one another in as much harmony as a fallen world will admit. -- Anthony M. Esolen, professor, Providence College

W. Edward Chynoweth, a retired lawyer, now divides his time between fruit growing, art, and writing on selected social and civil rights issues. A lifelong affection for the opposite sex has led him to speak out against present fallacies masking ages-old patterns of manhood and womanhood. Egalitarian and meddlesome statutes have obscured natural parameters. This book offers a review of the literature, with commentary, criticism, and suggestions for recovering a true norm.
