If men could blog

A tip if you are into feminism/gender/"Men are from Mars women are from Venus"-hating. Extracts from a book about the myth of communication problems between men and women, The Myth of Mars and Venus by Deborah Cameron. "Pocket Shop Non Fiction"-easy reading, mentions rape trials, inconsequent bilologists, men who can't talk, woen who supposedly talk too much and that kind of thing.
What language barrier
Speak up, I can't hear you
Back down to Earth

My mother used to be into books like If men could talk and Men are from Mars women are from Venus, awfully happy that they "explained things" and "OMG this is just how it is". I have given the books and try and failed to notice anything but sickening sexism and lots of money in the making. I might buy her Deborah Cameron's The Myth of Mars and Venus for christmas. It's her kind of book, as it's about communication between men and women, but it seems sensible. Like, wow.
