Book Description

January 1997
"Most of us are so accustomed to thinking of women and men as psychological opposites that we don't even notice that our actual experiences contradict our beliefs."

With this powerful introduction, Kate Fillion launches Lip Service, the #1 bestseller that explodes the myth of female virtue. Women are not morally superior to men, she argues, nor should they want to be. Puncturing damaging old stereotypes with both insight and wit, Fillion shows that women who believe they are better than men usually wind up feeling worse about themselves - and perpetuating double standards that hurt both sexes. In love, sex, and friendship, women are more than victims, less than saints - and the equal of any man.

This review is from: Lip Service: The Truth About Women's Darker Side in Love, Sex and Friendship (Paperback)
Finally a book that tells the TRUTH about women and dispels the myth of female moral superioriy. This book doesn't trash women, but shows how myths harm both men and women. Don't waste your time on ... "Men are From Mars, Women are From Venus," ...[Get] this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Interesting Tales, November 24, 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: Lip Service: The Truth About Women's Darker Side in Love, Sex and Friendship (Paperback)
This well-written book provdes some amusing insights in female-female relationships, which most women would prefer to deny. Fillion's use anecdote to illustrate a series of broad points is funny and entertaining. A very enjoyable (and cringe inducing) read.
