Quite an Eye-opener for WomenReview created: 09/18/07

I thought this would be a funny book with lots of quips about men.
Instead it is a thoughtful text full of insight into the difficulties of being a man in today's world. The author is a lesbian, so didn't have the usual axes to grind that we heterosexual women may acquire after a life of trying to figure out the "opposite" sex.
But there is no opposite sex -- only the other sex. And if women and men could understand each other's world a little better, we might get along better.
I would recommend this book highly to anyone. My only criticism is that the author seems to have missed how deeply the sex industry's concept of women harms all of us.
