I asked my mom to send me this book because I thought it might be a fun, albeit antiquated, way to shed some light on how men and women communicate. Kind of like How to Win Friends and Influence People for relationships.
From the beginning, the author addresses that not all men and women are the same. He even calls special attention to women in the workforce who tend to assume more masculine communication tactics. Then he launches into the worst kind of stereotyping of men and women I've ever read in my life.
Because of this book, I am now mad at the early 90s. Seriously, early 90s, don't even talk to me. There's nothing you can say to undo this.
Men Are from Mars was a best seller. A BEST SELLER! For six years! Mid 90s, I'm glaring at you, too.
Anyway, the book makes women sound like whiny nincompoops and men sound like closed jerkoffs. I stopped reading after 50 pages or so.
