“With primatology, science has refused to see that females are the aggressors, the rulers, the initiators of sex. For so long, almost to a humorous extent, we have looked right past the truth; which is that the females are leaving their young, they’re objectifying their mates, they’re the agents of desire. The psychologist had to keep getting rid of his male monkeys because the females got bored with them!” A snip from Zoe Williams’s Guardian piece on Daniel Bergner, author of What Do Women Want?, a new book about female sexual desire.
