Now that hopefully any clowns that needed to leave have left, let's have a real discussion. First, the book is a very fun and entertaining read. It hits you from the first page. I read (the parts that I read; more on that later) in one sitting. Well, the voice I was hearing in my head was of a 19-year-old (like "like" is used, like, 10.000 times). But I found it cute and unpretentious. On that note, the author's honesty magnetizes you (I would use the word "relatable" but it would be wildly inaccurate for obvious reasons). This is not a "I am madame perfect" book. It is also not a "self-help" book; this is serious educational sh*t.
Second, it's quite informative and surprising. In fact, it may be too informative. If you're a dude, at some point you may feel you want to give up and re-consider your palm skills. But, it truly is illuminating and there's so much simple and basic knowledge that many of us don't know. For example, I was incredibly surprised by how little research has happened on pussies. I don't know if, as the book claims, it's Patriarchy who's to blame, but it's a problem.
Speaking of Patriarchy... Look, the book has an agenda and if you say you didn't expect it, we're all glad you just connected to the Internet for the first time. The agenda is to blame Patriarchy for many things (it even has a whole part titled "Shit the Patriarchy Tries to Sell You"; a title whose structure I love). This can get annoying because even if you care about Patriarchy, and even if you agree with the author, you may still not want to read it about it (so much) in this book (this is similar to what I wrote in my review of The User Illusion: I like to read about communism, but not in that book). That said, here are 2 things to keep in mind: 1) it's easy to identify these parts, 2) the book has a lot of nicely presented information that is not that, so even if you're not interested in a criticism of Patriarchy, you still won't waste your money. Finally, yes, many things are stretched way too far, but some things are true.
Other than that, the book addresses people with a pussy. This makes sense and it makes it much more enjoyable than academic prose. But, unavoidably, if you're not such a person, a lot of information in the book will be irrelevant for you (even if you interact with people with a pussy). I've said in other reviews that I loved what Ray Dalio did in "Principles for Dealing with the Changing World Order: Why Nations Succeed and Fail" in which he has a short and long versions of the book within the same text. Well, in this case, I think it would be incredibly useful if the book integrated a version for a general audience.
Finally, a small complaint: I think a lot of important details are missing in the (very important) chapter on contraception. For example: are there long-term negative side-effects of the next-day pill (the book addresses side-effects but it's not clear)? What happens with pre-ejaculatory fluid?
P.S. I loved the discussions on people with disabilities....more
