This article is hateful and crazy. Which is a shame, as buried deep within it are so good points regarding not dating people based on their resumes and the importance of partnership and not just passion.

But it's entirely hateful.

At least one of them did. Man, that book was a waste of paper (I read it and was quite terrified).

my mother gave me that book for christmas (!) the year I graduated from college.

actually, she gave one to me and to my sister. in our *stockings*, which she *knows* is the things we open first. our special treats!

we gave her the look of 0.o and she was all " . . . it's funny!" and we were all " . . . hah? hah?"

Yeah.

I don't remember where I read it. Perhaps I was just browsing at a bookshop, but no, I either checked it out of the library or bought it used (I was writing a play about gender issues at the time and needed it for research).

It's utter toxic crap that objectivies both women and men - women as nothing but pretty, china dolls and men as nothing but brainless lust machines that have to be controled. I found it to be pornographic.
