    Where has this book been all my life? What an eye-opener! This little book is jam-packed with good advice for women of all ages. I especially liked the way it explained how men's psyche formed throughout history. It sure explains a lot! Now I understand why men often act the way they do. If they are abusive, it is still no excuse but now I have a better understanding of why they are the way they are. I highly recommend it, especially for all the ladies out there!Josette, I know what you mean about generalizing. When a man criticizes women and makes a general statement, he's talking about all women. When you say generally speaking, you're not talking about all men. You're saying there are exceptions to what you're saying about men. I didn't read anything in the book that wasn't spot-on. I totally got that. ;) (And I like emoji's too.) ? When we write, two different people can say the same thing but both can have different meanings. Sometimes we need emoji's to bring across what we specifically mean.

    When I refer to guys generalizing, it's in a negative context (when they say): "Women are...", "Women can't...", etc. When I say: "generally speaking", it's in a positive context. I'm not saying "Men are...", "Men can't...", etc. (as behavioral characteristics are dependent on the individual). If I did, I'd be guilty of doing what I'm criticizing others for doing. I'm saying there are exceptions to what I'm describing.And I'm definitely not denigrating (criticizing unfairly) the guys I'm referring to. I'm pointing out what a lot of guys do. It's accurate to say I have observed consistent, negative behavior in so many men that I'm correct in listing my observations.I'm sorry you don't approve of my use of emoji's. I use them because I like them (not as an indication of insecurity) and if that's the worst thing you can find to criticize my writing style, I'm doing ok. ? (You might be surprised at how many people think we mean one thing when we mean something else - and not necessarily due to a lack of intelligence. So emoji's can often come in handy when it clarifies our meaning/intention.) ?

    The author repeatedly denigrates men for making generalizations then readily admits the book is based on generalizations.Please get rid of the emojis! If you're insecure using humor, then don't . Otherwise, please assume readers are smart enough to recognize it.
