Thoroughly summarize this article. I define a thorough summary to mean a minimum of three well developed paragraphs, with each paragraph being composed of a minimum of five sentences.
As part of your summary be certain to specifically address the following:
1. Why did respondents opt for "synthetic women"?
2. Based on the evidence presented, would you define these men as "creeps, perverts, or misogynists" (489)? Specifically, are they pathological? See the top of page 480.
3. Identify factors at the societal level that may make it more difficult, in modern times, for men like these to find "organic" partners? Do women have more options in modern society or are they, like in pre-modern society, largely stuck with their lot in life?
If you are going to include a brief quote from the article use quotation marks, otherwise the words should be your own. Do not plagiarize or you will receive a zero.
Be certain to proofread your work prior to submission, as spelling, grammar, and punctuation count.
