"Irritable Male Syndrome"

I've never heard of this syndrome.

Diamond does not shy from the controversial subjects, including media portrayal of man (”oppressor”,) symbolic castration of men in society (sperm donors,) and women’s valuation of men (resource/status provider.) I am ambivalent to such dissection of these social issues and how these relate to IMS. On the one hand, understanding the larger context of IMS is important. On the other hand, readers may become engulfed in the enormity of these issues and even feel distracted or overwhelmed by the “big, messy situation.” Still, I prefer to be overwhelmed by an ambitious undertaking than underwhelmed by reductionism.
