Summary

"Feminism and Sex-Extinction" by Arabella Kenealy is a thought-provoking argument against early feminist ideas. The book suggests the feminist movement pushes women away from their true identities and into competition with men by adopting male characteristics. Kenealy explores how rejecting traditional roles could cause problems in society and believes biological differences between men and women are important. She uses historical and evolutionary ideas to support gender roles that have existed for a very long time. The author warns that the feminist goal of equal rights could disrupt the necessary roles of men and women in society.
