The Essential Difference: Men, Women and the Extreme Male Brain. Simon Baron-Cohen - Simon Baron-Cohen

The author spends a chapter re-defining empathy to mean anything and everything he wants it to (actual empathy, sympathy, consideration, kindness, conversational listening...) then he applies a massive dose of value-judgment. This book could get really painful if this carries on.
