Ten Points of the review:

• Gender is influenced by culture, but innate gender exists
• Masculinity is not stereotypical he-man; lack of male emotions serves abusers
• Constructed social roles = softer introduction than grero
• Situational homosexuality, down low excuses
• Bromance, speedos, breaking down the wall between love of friends
• Women intrude on men's spaces, feminism
• Darwin's fallacious focus on sex
• Conflation via Chapter 10
• 7 Reasons why Sexual Orientation Concept is Flawed
• Natural Sexuality of Men: most men want men most of the time
