Read a very disturbing article over at "Smart Living 365," the blog mistress, Cathy Goldberg gushed about a book. One that frankly teaches nothing but

 how to grow young women into old harpies.  Yes, it is a sad undeniable fact that men look down their noses at us women - that's always been, and always will be.  And sadly enough, smart women do better only  to trust ANY man within firm limits - i.e., a discrete ace or two up a sleeve.   Throughout the last 6,000 some years, husbands have abused/abandoned their wives, and plain not gave a hoot about the children they have left behind.  Uhm, that's why big gubment had to bring in the bureau of domestic relations.  Anyway, about the book, it teaches young women to be...oh, marginally thankful, but to make it all known far and wide, I demand, I deserve.  In other words, the author, Abby Wambluuck, is basically siding with the baser sort of men (alot of them around) - oh, but that's fembotz for ya - She, basically, preeeches at women to be more like men - because don't cha know, men are inherently better human beings than us women.  And of course, there's a whole lot of gushing going on over there.  Ya'd think old women would have acquired even some wisdom, over the past 50 or 60 years - that some things won't change, namely, that men are bigger (and even a few IQs smarter) than us women.

Didn't buy the book, and have no intentions on wasting even one thin dime to acquire this latest volume of toxic waste (of paper and ink).

And ya may wonder why, when it comes to non-fiction books, uh, i'm just a bit leery about female authors - yeah, there's a few good ones out there, but with the natural (i.e., Lord ordained) order of things, it's usually (not always, but exceptions prove...) male authors are more fact orientated and less inclined toward spouting the latest socio-political rubbish.  

Oh wait a sec, that was 50-some years ago, when the teachings from the Bible remnant preacherMEN still had some influence, even among lost people.  For example: 50 years ago, there was no way you wanted to get caught cheating on an exam - so ya didn, or falsifying science research.  Per a recent article (see sidebar) happens all the time, and even seasoned peer reviewers get hornswaggled.  Scary thing is, if jittery pokey is played between a geology journal's pages, what's going on down the hall, where a medical journal is being peer reviewed - oh, and the feature article focuses upon the human coronary system.
