Title: We already know how to maintain the status quo
Review: Fifteen or so years ago I would have welcomed this book, since it would have nicely fit with my (mostly unconscious) view that women are 2nd-class citizens. The fact that it's written by a "woman" would have only made me more strident in my twisted beliefs. However, maturity and the fact that I have 2 daughters who needlessly suffer because of deep-rooted misogyny have forever changed me. I bought this book because I'm interested in solutions to the problem of subtle and not-so-subtle woman-hating. I didn't need to know how to keep things the way they are--we're doing a pretty good job of that already. I suppose that Ms. Young just couldn't resist making a fast buck at the expense of women.
Is the review positive or negative?
