This has been on my to-read list for awhile just because it gets referenced so often. (Dan Savage et. al.)
It's a pretty fun and interesting read, and encourages the questioning of assumptions, which is always a good thing! I can't speak to the quality of the science, though I hear it is arguably no better than the evo psych nonsense it strives to debunk.
Even so, it's certainly a more hopeful model of the human psyche, and so I like it. If I'm going to choose to believe one heavily culturally-biased narrative over another when the science on both sides is dubious, I'm okay with being on the side of the bonobos.
