7. Ms Wolf's work has always seemed kind of personal to me.

As in she takes a personal, not an academic perspective, she is a popularizer and a proselytizer, not a judicious studier.. I've thought about this book some, I think it's an interesting effort at consciousness raising, sort of like a personal meditation on penises, if I were to write it. I'd be curious to know what women think about it, their opinions seem most relevant to this book.
