Craig..in my entire 2 plus years of being here....I will say for the first time that I strongly disagree with you. Although the tidbits I posted here were some of the more dramatic and , to you, 'hogwash', the thoughts and theories presented in the entire pdf are just too credible to ignore.

If you ignore some of the author's 'issues' and look at the meat of what she is saying, there is a lot of truth to it. In fact, I would highly recommend it to other men here whose 'sitch's' fall into the same category.

It is sobering.

It is intimidating to men.

It makes sense.

For me, it explains my W EXACTLY AND DOWN TO THE EXACT LINES SHE USED...EVEN DOWN TO THE TIMELINE.

No..it was empowering to read, because, it gives another perspective to men who are the victims...a woman's. After going thru this, why would ANY MAN ignore anything from the 'other vantage point' if it broadens understanding or even thought processes, even if they are not healthy ones.

This is NOT:
-a scientific study
-a description of the average woman
-a diagnosis
-written by a scientist

It IS:
-a pattern of behavior by SOME WOMEN
-a theory which is the sum and substance of what THESE WOMEN told her
-information that would enlighten a man who has been thru this
-something that provides ME with CLOSURE
-something that supports DB PRINCIPLES: it is not about you.

You can throw the baby out with the bath wather Craig. Not me....information is power.
