I don't usually post more than once per day, but on my drive back to work from lunch, I heard Ryan Seacrest on the radio talking about this new book that has come out and it ticked me off SO much, I just HAD to blog about it. The book is written by a new author, Dante Moore and the title of the book is: The Re-Education of the Female." Supposedly, it's a book that guides single women in their quest for a relationship, and how to find a "great catch" and keep him. Before I continue, this man took a whole 7 months **wow! shocker!** (note sarcasm) to "research" it. I haven't read it yet, but from the little I've heard about it, it didn't take much research at all because it seems to be pure opionion of his. There seems to be nothing to support what he claims. So here goes my opinion:
First: I think the man is a less than intelligent human being when it comes to relationships and women (aka: an idiot). The first thing that bothers me about this book is what he has to say about what it takes to find a "great catch" and keep him (what I heard on the radio) : "Your responsibilities (!!) include cooking, staying skinny, wearing sexy things around the house and doing whatever your man tells you to do." He also goes on to say "Here's a little secret ladies: men never really ask for anything. They command...And believe me, what you won't do, ten broads around the corner will." Wait...WHAT?!? There are SO many things wrong with that statement!!!! First, if you're going to write a book to women, you DON'T call them broads. Secondly, if the man that you "catch" is willing to run to the "10 broads around the corner" when his woman isn't willing to bow to his every command, then he's not really a catch!!! **moron** It's call loyalty and commitment. They are essential cornerstones to a great relationship! I could go on with everything wrong with this statement, but I'm going to move on...I can feel my blood pressure rising as we speak, but I think you get my point.
The second thing that bothers me is the fact that he says he would prefer someone "...size 10 or under..." Okay...so that statement itself doesn't really bother me, because I know that men have their preferences, just like women. So he wants her small...that's fine. However he catorgizes the rest of the male population into his "size 10 or under" catagory by saying "The fatter you get, the more you decrease your potential single-man pool. Let me give you an example. When you go to the grocery store to shop, do you pick out the nastiest-looking, most rotten, smelliest fruit or meat you can find? Oh, you don't? Why not?...It's the same with men when they see baby elephant-sized, out-of-shape women." Unbelievable!! Not only is it degrading to your "audience" of women,. but not ALL men are pigs like that. I know women that eat healthy, exercise, and maintain a nice, clean appearance. However: they are overweight. Just because someone is overweight does not mean she doesn't take care of her self or she is "rotten, smelly and nasty looking." Just a little side note: according to one of the people at his book signing - he himself is a heavyset man. Hypocritical? I would say so. I would really like to meet this man so I can give him a piece of my mind. These are only two things from his book, but I'm sure there is plenty in there to cause a rise in blood pressure in women all around the country....
You're probably going to think I'm crazy (considering my rant above), but I'm actually going to read this book. I want to know what all he says and how off the mark he is. I've not been lucky enough to have a long term relationship yet, but I have seen many successful relationships and marriages around me and none of them require the woman to jump and the man's every order. Each of these relationships have compromise, understanding, honesty, and loyalty, and trust as their cornerstone (after Christ). It's a give and take. That's the way relationships are supposed to be. No commands of any one person. Commands are for dogs, not humans, especially not women. Anyone that would willing enter into a relationship where they have be the man's toy either has no self-esteem or no self-respect. I believe we are worth more than what this man talks about because I have a father and other males in my life that have shown me that, but not every woman has that, so they settle for anything they can get, and unfortunately, sometimes what they settle for ends up being someone like this Dante Moore. I, personally, would rather spend the rest of my life single than settle for something like that.
