Masquerade

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.

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.
