Yeah. It sounds like it. The author is divorced (happened when she "woke up." Other than the male bashing, though, there is some sense to it. I don't think W will buy the male bashing any more than she now does, though.
I've been reading some more. Still going along the same vein, but I know it gets into other things later.
An interesting thing happened yesterday. Don't know if I'm reading this correctly, but we were chatting about the book, perimenopause, etc. W said she'd like to re-establish contact with my step-mom. I'm hoping W is looking for another perspective, and some advice - either on how to "handle" me, or on how to handle peri.
In any case, my step-mom is very "liberated" and liberal minded. However, she's also very balanced in her views. She once told me that she'd gone through a "radical feminism" stage, and would be willing to discuss it with my W. I'm hoping that this discussion will come to pass.
Right now, I'm just feeling rejected and lonely. Whether it's hormones, or W's burgeoning self awareness, she just doesn't have (or at least show) any feelings for me.
