Utter dire and disgusting rubbish.

This is a book from a past time, when American women hadn't a clue about what their fathers really were - that is pedophiles and satanists.

But Dr. Drexler is right; fathers certainly do have an influence on their daughters. As a therapist I see it every week - women seeking help for stress and depression, only to reveal hidden memories of satanic abuse or incest. In Sweden, feminists are comprehending that 100% of males are satanists and they are organizing their domestic abuse refuges correctly, and ensuring that male abuse perpetrators are not given therapy - just prison. In the US pioneering books like 'The Courage To Heal' finally awoke women to the horrible reality of our society; that men marry to have daughters and sons that they can rape and perform satanic rituals on.

The cheery fantasy of a world with fathers contributing to the characters of their daughters is just that - a fantasy - a myth born-out from the misguided accounts of women such as female scientists who sometimes determine their inspiration came from their fathers.

And the front cover picture? Shouldn't such scenes be reported to the police?

(I didn't finish the book - it repulsed me from the first chapter)

Blake "And the front cover picture? Shouldn't such scenes be reported to the police?"

Stop it! You're killin' me! There are tears in my eyes and my breathing is difficult, so funny have I found it.

Kristen I'm just wondering about the statistic: "100% of males are satanists".

100% just seems a tad high, in my experience only about 85% of men are satanists, or at least just the ones I've dated.
