  Pop-Darwinian claims about men's irrepressible heterosexuality are increasingly common, and increasingly common excuses for men's sexual aggression. This book traces such claims about the hairier sex through evolutionary science and popular culture. It shows how evolutionary discourse can get lived out as the biological truth of male sexuality.
