uuuuuugh
the tree this book was printed on must have been cursed.
there's a strong appeal to people who prefer to spend leisure time reinforcing the neural pathways of his nation's most tired stereotypes.

he starts off in the book talking about his poor oppressed male white friend who 'didn't get to move up in the company because they needed more diversity'. i mean, doubtful, if your friend is so darn talented i don't think that'd stop him from moving up, so you're basically just dumping on diversity. if you want a fun parody of that segment check out https://twitter.com/probirdrights?lan...

do yourself a favor and make blackout poetry with your copy.

This book was recommended to me as a must read before I got married. The more I read, the more frustrated I got. This book completely props up old patriarchal norms and excuses men of their behavior while asking women to work around men. Not for a modern woman at all.

My mom made me read this

This book came highly recommended, but honestly, I didn't learn anything new from it. And I doubt it's because I'm so worldly and in-tune with men. I had good, close relationships with my father and brother growing up and my husband and I have always talked openly about our relationship and our experiences and expectations. I can see how this book might be helpful for some women, though.

Glad I read it. Of course there were parts I read then wanted to throw it across the room and say "of course a man wrote that" but then there were others where I thought "of course, why didn't I already know that!" I would recommend this book to a friend.

Overall I thought the book was pretty helpful and entertaining. It was a quick and easy read. I didn't realize that the author was a Christian psychologist until I started reading. Sometimes the Christian lingo can be a little much, but it won't be for others if that is your kind of thing.

I really appreciate Dr. Leman as an author. He is blunt and to the point.\nThis book gives great perspective on father/daughter relationships, marriage relationships, and even a bit on work relationships.
