Title: Pseudo-Feminist Alert
Product review: Gurian claims in this book to be a "feminist" family therapist but reveals his anti-woman bias throughout the book, especially when he names the only "feminist" thinkers he agrees with: Katie Roiphe, Camille Paglia, and Christina Hoff Somers -- women who are more misogynist than feminist. Gurian's philosophy is truly dangerous. He states that men are biologically determined to be violent and dominant over women, and that women should not try to change this fact. He wildly understates the consequences of the "boys will be boys" attitude, such as sexual harassment and rape; and he seems bitter about the economic strides that women have gained in the past twenty years. This is a backlash book masquerading as a parenting guide.
