Title: traditional gender norms and biases pervade this book
Review: If you like reading books that make repeated assertions based on "studies," but fail to footnote said studies so that you can read them yourself, this is the book for you.However, if you think that authors who reference others' work should actually include information about those works so that you can evaluate the validity and generalizability for yourself, look elsewhere.This book is sloppily written, insulting to both genders, and barely a step up from the extremely-traditional sexual/gender roles evidenced in "Men are from Mars..." If you're a woman who is a problem-solver rather than a talker, or a man who doesn't think that talking about emotions is "gross women's stuff," you will get little from this book (except irritation).If you're in even a mildly non-traditional relationship, avoid this book at all costs.Comment
