Another book that plays off of stereotypes of men and women.
When
I saw this book on the library website, I didn't think it would be that
way. So I was really disappointed when I got the requested book, and
read the cover.
I'm sure some of their advice is useful, but
honestly, if they need to envelope good advice in a pillow of
gender-based insults, then I don't need to read it, or try any of their
advice. Based on their assumptions, all relationships with two men are
absolutely perfect, because what ruins a relationship is a woman who
wants to talk about their feelings all the time! (sarcasm ahead...)
Well, since a relationship between two men never has problems, their
premise is obviously true.
The problem with the stereotypes of
men and women that are perpetuated in relationship books is that not all
people fit into these descriptions. Some people do, and that's why the
stereotypes persist. I would love to see a book about relationships that
follows the following principles:
1. No gender-based assumptions
2. No assumptions on what the genders are in a relationship
I can't imagine it would be that difficult! Someone write this book, please! :)
