Clearly, I need to read this book myself. Because you're 100% right, whoever gets overly irritated by isolated quotes taken out of context deserves what she gets.
I assume that it's ok for my superior husband to ditch an important business meeting if I get run over by a car ....
(that's just me being difficult; I'm sure Deida isn't implying otherwise.....)
Interesting point on his use of "men" and "women" to represent "masculine" and "feminine" polarities ....
I do agree with this: there is nothing more sexy than a man who knows what he is and what he wants and doesn't have to be constantly hand-held and propped up.
Of course, I would say the same of women ....
FWIW, Cobra, I am totally so not a proponent of the "entitled princess/men are pigs/validate me, validate me" school of femininity. Guess I just don't know too many (although I'll admit to knowing some) women who fit into that box.
