In this invited address to the American Psychological Association, Roy Baumeister has quite a lot of fun with his topic: “Is there anything good about men?” His major themes will be familiar to GNXP regulars–Larry Summers, the high male variance of IQ, genetic and cultural explanations, a rejection of the culture war and a call for science–but it’s a tale well told. A typical quote:
[M]en really are better AND worse than women.
Great to see the APA having this kind of discussion.
