Book Reviews of Why Women Should Rule the World
Book Review: With such thinking we'll also have to accept the Superiority of the White Race
Summary: 1 Stars
With the exception of Far-East-Asians, white people have the highest education levels, best jobs, live in the most peaceful, cleanest and prettiest neighborhoods. I can go on forever, and under DoDo Myer's logics we'd easily say whites are superior and the real question is whether hispanics and blacks are real humans or macacos. The missing link between monkeys and humans has always been here!!!
The facts above seem overwhelming and millions of people secretly do follow them at one or another level, like many of the 40 millions who voted for McCain after 8 years of misery. Many other millions are already believing in the women's superiority by the same sloppiness, secretness and convenience. However, such reasons end up being pure mud for the base of a skyscraper. The real conclusion is that with so much support as a white person you really have to work hard to stay out of the middle class, being a retard or very very unlucky. Let's see the book now.
The author washes her hands like Pontius Pilates by stating that "this book is not an attack on men. It's not mean to demean..bla,bla, my father was a man. I'm married to a man"..bla,bla, but after hammering over and over all the good things that women do better than men and all the bad things men do better than women we can only see plain evidence of hidden hatred. Dodo Myers and interviewees don't show any hesitance to claim "women are more practical, do better science and business, better government, better, better, better", (as well as bragging) while men are better at murdering, stealing, threatening, etc. And somehow Dodo says that it's men who usually split the world between all good and all evil, black and white. This hypocrite truth-quest-pretentiousness was consistent all over the book.
Her master piece is a sexist joke of the three wise men, that another good reviewer denounced well. Dodo called the wise men's gifts impractical. Calling gold an impractical gift? Well, for all you Dodo yourself and your followers, you can send me your gold for this X-mas season; it's OK to be late for a man, you'll definitively say. Summer is still good. You can also send silver, diamonds, stock options, etc. Get creative. Creativity is seldom practical but Dodo will reassure you that's also OK for a man.
The single one good thing I can say on the book is that Dodo acknowledged somewhere that she "has a bit (sic!) of a bias" for studies that favor women. Well, academia is not the best source for this debate 'cause it has earned a big reputation for being liberal biased. The sociology departments are some of the most radical ones, feminism promoters. Their studies remind me the medical (a supposedly more strict and scientifically discipline) ones from the late XIX and early XX century warning people against the several evils of sex. Sociologists and economists cannot even agree in daily big issues, like whether or not illegal and legal immigrants are good, bad or so so for the USA. I'm an hispanic immigrant and I won't twist anything to tell what we are to the USA, I don't know (I thought I did), nobody does. Many women down there in Latin America already rule their marriages, with iron fist often.
Regarding men being worse than women in forms of crime, I have read other studies claiming that men only beat women in crime when it comes to physical crime, otherwise women are equally capable of stealing, doing fraud, even murdering. Nobody knows the truth. Dodo claims her source is the FBI, so what? Governments is such a great twister of facts and Dodo is great at it as well, thus you get double distortions or more. Besides, a big amount of female violence is far easier to hide than males's since it comes from moms to their children and husbands who'll never call the police. But it's great that in these repressed-male times there are TV shows like "Snapped" that show how cold-blooded women can get.
In the same line with racists and discrimination movements, Dodo uses and degrades the evolution theory to sloppily justify her arguments to the point to subtlety state that men are more violent because of their nature, not because the ways they are raised, therefore inferior than women and never the faults of their moms. And it's funny her using evolution theory when she goes to church. And talking about moms again, Dodo put them on way undeserved pedestal, no wonder she tried to take all responsibility away from them.
Becoming a mother makes you something close to superman in Dodo's view, one that she says over and over is very special. She might've become more patient when she became a mom, but only to her babies. She even tried to state some sort of sixth-sense sense, that men obviously don't have, that still failed when she guessed the sex of her coming daughter. Men also have intuition and I've seen that it is as accurate as women's. It's only propaganda that we don't have it. Moreover, virtually everybody agrees that children are very spoiled today and society as whole is quite rude, a society raised by the same mothers Dodo praises (and and she herself in them) on and on. It's in motherhood when women shows how violent a women can be when she has a chance and with the nasty feminism from our time it gets incredible sometimes; a mom in Austin (liberal city) or nearby in TX recently castrated and mutilated her sons' penis!
The so-called female empathy that Dodo and many more claim nowadays is very often nothing more than sugarine and mushy pretentiousness and manipulation, like crying sometimes is as well as attention call as Dodo says in her usual drama-show.
Whenever Dodo finds a good quality on men she immediately twists it into something negative. And if women ever so it (like Hillary Clinton being aggressive), that's OK, pure double standards. Hey Dodo, being intimidating is bad from both a women and a man! Being able to focus turns you into a brain-dead-tunnel-visionned robot who won't realize when your house is on fire while you figure your electrojunk out. (at the same time some women claim that being able to focus is actually women's virtue). Being quick and sound to make decisions turns you into a shallow one who sees the world in black and white. I myself have been labeled like that in an women-led company (an average one therefore), curious because the female CEO was equally "black and white" minded when it came to money and paying me peanuts. I guess some women want to deposes us from one of our best skills, being secure of ourselves and able to make decisions. In that same company I witnessed how much of bullies women can get when they are majority. I have also been sexually discriminated when applying to jobs at least twice; forget about suing them, that's only for rich people, and being a man I'd need to be extra-rich. Women can be more sexist than men.
In the same way that Dodo used a theory that her religion opposes, she also makes alliance with people opposed to the party that started helping women. For example, she mentions very often the staunch death-penalty supporter Senator Kay B. Hutchinson from Texas. It's all about power and convenience. There are lots of only-for-women services. That's why women can agree more easily than men, but if they ruled the world women wouldn't agree any better than men do today. Right today women don't agree on several issues like abortion and gay marriage at all, and Dodo won't mention it.
And talking about how men have ruled the world, (Dodo as usual telling what a bad job we, men, do) let's get some fun and read another book, a feminist one for your sake! Superfreakonomics, where the authors show how better is our world than ever before, right when starting chapter 4. Only a shallow mind who only gets information from TV can tell that our world is the worst of all times. If anybody really though that, they should move to the Amazon jungle. Why nobody does it? Eh?
The original feminist movement was about equality and women have already taken over low and mid-level managerial positions. When men are still most of CEO-s in big companies, Dodo says "Come on, people!" Come on You, Dodo! I'll repeat another reviewer, Michael from Germany: "women have a right to half the world's leadership positions, but only on the day when half the world's most dangerous, dirtiest and unhealthiest jobs, still done nearly 100% by men, are shared 50% by women, and half of those killed every year at work are women." (PS:low-end prostitutes are only a handful, women usually don't work on it) I'll add that in these recession times men have fared the worst by far and large.
Men are the new black people and you can criticize me for resenting it. Yes I do with all reason, and will just volunteer to help my gender, like sending books to inmates.
I am sad that liberals who want true equality like me don't have any option other than the strongly pro-feminist Democrat party while the only ones who oppose the feminist are radical, nasty and maybe irrelevant right-wingers like Michelle Malkin and Rush Limbaugh. My only hope that women don't take over the world is that many of you are also copying men's bad behaviors as well at incredible rates, like drunkenness, reckless promiscuity, laziness, jerkiness (with the curious mixture of hyper-sensitivity), farting, bad breath and bad outfit style. Hey Dodo! It's not grandma's times and women don't defer to anybody anymore, least of all to their husbands.
Finally, Child Abuse Report!!! (I wish I could report husband abuse too, but the current female-bias laws won't let it). Dodo has a son and not even him will get away from her hatred. I skipped the 1st and last parts of the book, mostly just skimmed over those parts, but on section 3 "Biology, Ideology and Difference". She started by talking about her children by telling how nurturing and female her daughter is with her stuffed animals and dolls, while her son is "far too busy trying to slay it (the animal)". Next his son asks "if there's no intruder, who am I going to shoot?" The girls showed their righteousness and how better they were, etc. I didn't have the guts to continue reading, I'm very sensitive about child abuse, even when Dodo says I can't be for being a man. Authorities out there, this child is going to grow with sever issues!! He may even castrate and self-mutilate later on in life. I am not exaggerating. At least a child has already gone through that as mentioned before. His dad chose on his own to marry and be dominated by that woman, but he did not and has a right to a good life in another house. How bad can Dodo be when she praised her mom's search for power at the expense of neglecting her family and feeding them with junk?
Summary of Why Women Should Rule the World
If women ruled the world, politics would be more collegial, businesses would be more productive, and communities would be healthier. More women should lead?not because they are the same as men, but precisely because they are different.
Reflecting on her own tenure as White House press secretary and her work as a political analyst, media commentator, and former consultant to NBC's The West Wing, Dee Dee Myers blends memoir and social history with a call to action, as she assesses the crucial but long-ignored strengths that female leaders bring to the table. With intelligence, courage, candor, and wit, she looks at the obstacles women must overcome and the traps they must avoid on the path to success, and she challenges us to imagine a not-too-distant future with more women standing tall in the top ranks of politics, business, science, and academia.
