Book...

Book...
Was killing time yesterday, and stopped in at the bookstore at the mall.

There I saw a book (don't remember what it's called unfortunately) that was about Female predators...

So I picked it up. It of course covered all the "Big Names". While it certainly didn't glorify them as our media does, the basic premise was, what they did was learned behavoir.....

and in every case the author insinuated that it was learned from a man, be it their father figure, or predatory, abusive husband/boyfriend....

So once again, it comes back to somehow being all our fault.

The author is an idiot and blind fool.
 
Scott,

Well, it just goes to show that you don't have to have a good book in order to get published; you just need to have something that will sell. You're right to note the absurdity of this author's position, but the book's line of argument will of course bang the bell of lots of readers who want/need to see abuse as essentially a male vice and crime.

And even trained and highly educated professionals can fall into traps like this. I used to tell my students that some of the greatest fools I know have PhDs.

Much love,
Larry
