Why It's Your Next Read

  • Evopsych bros get scientifically torched w/ receipts
  • Anonymous confessions = you're not broken after all
  • Monogamy's fail rate exposed via hard data
  • Cultural double standards dissected like a lab specimen

If The Hite Report gave you permission to see your desires as data rather than deviance, Untrue delivers the next seismic jolt—turning the myth of monogamous female nature inside out with field studies, primate behavior, and confessional testimonies that refuse patriarchal scripts. Wednesday Martin wields anthropology and anonymized interviews like Hite wielded surveys: as weapons against the lie that women are naturally less lustful, more faithful, or content with the relational status quo.

...as weapons against the lie that women are naturally less lustful...

This isn't theory—it's fieldwork from bedrooms, biology labs, and cultures where female infidelity isn't scandalous but expected. Martin's prose crackles with the same radical validation that made The Hite Report a lightning rod.

Pick this up if you're ready to burn the evolutionary psychology playbook and own your unruly truth.

What Readers Are Saying

"Fascinating. Infuriating. I learned a lot that I should have learned in my many courses on the topic of human mate selection and sociobiology in college, and didn't." Wendy, Goodreads
"What a thoroughly enjoyable read! I thoroughly enjoyed Wednesday's multifaceted exploration of female infidelity, explored through different social scientists', psychologists', and primatologists' opinions, as well as various subcultures, groups, one-on-one interviews, and personal anecdotes. I LOVE her books." Simone Collins, Goodreads
"This book is a masterful review of a topic the author admits could be several volumes. Ms. Martin's inquiring and intelligent writing was a breath of fresh air." Donald Powell, Goodreads
