Title: Why grow culturally when we can all stay retarded?
Review: This book is one giant step backward into the dark ages. Why don't we give up the vote while we're at it? Fein and Schneider reduce gender to a flat stereotype and ignore race, religion, ethnicity... Real people are complex and diverse. Only the desperate or the clueless could ever believe that _any_ set of rules would apply to everyone.This book does make one useful point, albiet one a modern woman should already know: that there is more to life than who you're currently dating. Neurotic women with low self-esteem who feel incomplete when single and define their identity around their boyfriend/husband might find some value in the tone of this book...as long as they don't take "the rules" themselves as gospel.
Is the review positive or negative?
