SOLD! ITEM #29: BOOK – Are men necessary? When sexes collide by Maureen Dowd


I asked my boyfriend J to buy this for me for my birthday in 2006. I found this book a very entertaining read. I can’t quite remember if it was the content of the book, the writing style or because I was also watching the West Wing at the time and was enjoying all things American.

Here are some points I found interesting that I wrote down in my reading notes:

  • It’s more a man’s world today than ever. Men can eat their cake in unlimited bakeries
  • Women would move from playing with Barbie, to denouncing Barbie, to remaking themselves as Barbie
  • Women demand equality, girls just want to have fun and ladies long to loll about
  • Choosing between work and home is, in the end, a problem only for those who have a choice

I seem to be taking all your books, maybe i should have just gone through your book shelf when i was at your place! but i do enjoy reading your comments on all the items!
are you sure J doesn't mind you giving away stuff that he gave you?

j will be happy that we are getting rid of our stuff. he has this new "rule" where we whenever we bring something new into the house we have to take something out. i'm about 4 items behind in removing stuff, so this book will help!

i'm just glad that someone else will have a chance to use this stuff! :-)
