"Many girls, because of their own problems, yield negative value, and will make your life worse if you get into a long-term relationship with them.

Consider that girls have more mental issues and insecurities than you, and think far more illogically. Whatever benefits they provide must be weighed up against the fact that they are the weaker sex and need additional care, monitoring, and maintenance."

Da Fuq?

"Lastly, I want to protect you from danger. Women are being trained to believe they have been raped when they weren’t, and new laws are making it easier to ruin a man’s life with dubious allegations that have zero physical evidence."

Da fuq is this BS? I'm not even to the first chapter yet!

"I saw her a couple times after that, but she always had an excuse for why she couldn’t have sex. I’m pretty sure I ruined it for her forever. Poor girl."

He sounds like a bad lay. He keeps saying that the ladies don't talk to him after awhile, and yet somehow he's not the problem? He has to carry lube with him? Like, bro, you ain't good at it. Let it go.

“No, I just want to leave. I don’t want to go to your house.”
The one-night stand was slipping through my grasp, but I maintained my composure, not indulging her temper tantrum"

Ugh.

"No means no—until it means yes. The sex was painful for her. I was only the second guy she’d ever had sex with."

"She whimpered like a wounded puppy dog the entire time, but I really wanted to have an orgasm, so I was “almost there” for about ten minutes. After sex she sobbed for a good while, talking about how she had sinned in the eyes of God"

WTF

"The formula of our conversation went something like this: she’d say something stupid; I’d cringe and die a little on the inside before making fun of her in a humorous, sexist way; and finally she’d playfully hit me and move a little closer. I was becoming skilled at tolerating stupid girls long enough to beat their pussies up in bed."

Seriously though, this is written like a virgin wrote it.

"The problem was that she wouldn’t go into a bedroom with me. Short of drugging her and wheeling her in on some type of cart, I didn’t know how to proceed. I knew she liked me and sex was on her mind, but I didn’t like the idea that I was basically getting into a relationship with a girl whose vagina I hadn’t yet violated. "

This is gross. And yet, this all feels like a lie, every story reads as farce.

Beyonce is about as kind as Ellen DeGeneres. Not a role model.

COCO CHANEL !?!?!?!??!?!

A literal nazi?!?!?

How about C for Carrie Chapman Catt? or Clara Barton?

This is so boring.

The entire chapters of "social justice" and "canceled" can be skipped. They have little to nothing to do with the subject at hand. "Social justice" doesn't even seem like it's supposed to be in the book at all.

John. Owen.

They quoted john owen. JOHN OWEN!!!

Credibility for this book just went downhill, fast.

So I just read chapter 7 "Girl, you were made for intimacy" The chapter mentions the word intimacy, but only in terms of sex, which is a shame.

There are so many forms of intimacy outside of the boundaries of sex, and so far, this book is just teaching girls that they are just for the physical act of sex. Nothing more. Nothing about true intimacy.

Oh, and "yada" (which is misused)

This is definitely the most well written book by the Bairds, however the content is still the same judgmental crap.

The analogy on day 59 is awful.

I didn't read this for ten days in a row. I'm on day 41, and I'm still bored.

This just isn't very in depth as I would like it to be. Each devotional leaves me wanting more to the story, but not in a good way. It's an unfulfilling devotional.

This is really boring.

This is clearly written for a pre-teen/teenage audience.

"But God doesn't want us to "discuss" (which often equals ripping apart) the people we follow on social media. He's not okay with us tearing others down to make ourselves feel better..."

This sentence was disappointing to read as Kristen and Bethany have devoted conferences, blogs, & social media to being hateful to those who do not agree with them

I just finished day four. I'm already annoyed with only half of a story being told.

This isn't really like other daily devotionals I have done. I know I'm only on day three, but so far it's primarily the author's viewpoints and very little of the bible. I hope that it gets better and has some daily activities other than reading a couple of bible verses.

Rob Liefeld would be proud of these feet. Maybe it's where he drew the inspiration from?

The closeness of the train to the train station has me deeply worried.

"We're supposed to be here for each other. To support each other. To love each other. To celebrate with each other. To make each other stronger."

I've heard this all the time growing up in the church. It only seems to apply if you align with their beliefs. If you don't, you apparently deserve to be bullied into submission.

"When we choose to love others when everything in us screaming to shut down, hide, and retreat, we display a compelling picture of sacrificial love"

"It is possible to rejoice and weep at the same time. We can harmonize the two..."

"Unlike all other world religions, the God of the Bible is personally acquainted with grief and pain. He knows what suffering is on an intimate level..."

This sentence alone proves that the authors have done zero to no research on other religions. It's like they haven't heard of Buddhism, Islam, Hinduism...

They're clearly trying to put christianity on a pedestal of self-righteousness.
