Basic information for men; but old-fashioned message.,

This review is from: The Expectant Father: A Practical Guide to Sharing Pregnancy and Childbirth (Paperback)
As an expectant dad I found this book easy to read and adequate. It reviews the basics: your wife's changing mood, sex, labor, c-sections, etc. If you're in the dark, this book will help lighten things up. However, the book is written in an old-fashioned tone. The pregnant woman is always referred to as either "your wife" or a "girl." Also, its expectations of fathers are quite low: be patient, don't sulk, be nice. The message seems to be: "You're used to getting your way, but now you need to compromise just a bit." For a sexist guy, this book could be of some help, but for the sophisticated man Naomi Wolf's _Misconceptions_ is much better. |
