MisInformation: The Female-Perpetuated Myths about Men Volume 1 (Paperback)
From the book's introduction:
My inspiration for writing this came after an unhappy and now phew! ex-girlfriend whined, "Where are all the good men?” Throwing her hands into the air and surrendering to the relationship gods, she thrust a book into my lap. "All men should read this book!" she insisted, waving a finger around. From there she went on and on about how the quality of men is on the decline and how women can never find decent, hardworking, "good" men.
Well, needless to say, this completely insulted me. A book insisting men change to better accommodate women? Was she serious? Why not title the book, It's Not You, It's Him? That' s some nerve! A book for us that only I should read? I then asked her, "Did you buy two books?" Her answer was a resounding No! Suddenly, all of our arguments and setbacks were my fault alone, and men were solely responsible for how women are viewed and mistreated, or unable to place themselves into meaningful relationships. Like she doesn't need to do some changing herself.
I grew tired of everything being lopsided or tailored to implicate the men and vindicate the women. Who was going to take our side for once? Defend us from all the rhetoric and the countless titles lining bookshelves with seemingly one objective in mind: to help her find a better man than you, when she's got some changing to do herself? Yep, me!
Eventually, I read her book. In fact, I read several other books she had lying around, and none of them saw our relationship problems in any other way except in women's favor. Each denied that women had their own inadequacies while overlooking their wrongdoings, focusing more on where men fail. Each time, men were not good enough, strong enough, sensitive enough, and whatever other "enough" they could come up with, when most women knew what they had from the start - a bad boy!
Now, finally, numerous myths that women expect men to believe are our fault are detailed within these pages, filling you with the knowledge to counter any claim she wants to level against you out of her own insecurities. They have capitalized and made millions off men at the expense of our self-esteem long enough. Even society has blamed men for the demise of relationships and for female immorality, when scores of men have coupled with women who do not appreciate, respect, or deserve them.
The problem of women is, and always will be, understanding how their behavior directly influences who they attract and how men perceive and treat them, rather than that few good men exist. Thus, if women must inquire where the good men are, their problem is they don' t know where to look, and then what to do if they find one. Not to mention, they fail to exhibit the very qualities they allege men are lacking. Therefore, the quality of men is not in question here; their ability to couple with the right ones is! That alone is proof enough good men do exist and that, maybe, there is a shortage of women qualified to spot what a good man is.
Ssssh! . . . That has to sting just a little bit!
