I started off reading and thinking, "Go girl." Talking about the size issues, being threatened by intelligence, wanting her to be adventurous without an adventurous past, ambitious without actually caring about her career, sexual without being a slut... that made sense.
But the rest started to seem overboard. Yes, some men are some of the above. But all men are not, and some men are none of the above. Among the men I've known, most admired ambition and intelligence. But I often found it was only skin-deep. Take Archangel - he was always proud of my accomplishments and interested in my career, until it meant that I wasn't home at 6 p.m. to make dinner, and he'd call at the office to ask me when I was coming home because he was hungry.
So yeah, it's bitter - but there's real-life experience behind it. Then again, I'm bitter. :)
