This review is from: What Men Know That Women Don't: How to Love Women Without Losing Your Soul (Paperback)

What an extraordinary book this is! Written in a white heat that yet never causes the author to descend into sputtering or silliness, this book reminds me so much of "Generation of Vipers," a magnificently angry book about the myriad problems with the way our world was being run in 1942,written by a man named Philip Wylie. I read that book for the first time at age 21, and I can honestly say it changed my worldview - permanently, on some issues. Rich Zubaty's book, first published almost exactly 50 years later, has done the same for my perception of my sex, distorted as the image of we men has become in recent years, due to the feminist curse. And to think I once considered myself a male feminist! I like the way Mr. Zubaty refers to the female-driven desire for "things" as mater-ialism. It reminds me of the word coined by Mr. Wylie for the inordinate worship of motherhood in his day: Momism.

Of course, one could quibble with Mr. Zubaty's book here and there: All men are not as hard-working and self-sacrificing as he suggests; all women are not as selfish and mater-ialistic. But having said that, I must reiterate that this is a man-book, written not with a fussy and literal attention to every detail, but with a burst of uncanny insights about how we've been screwed for so long, and tremendous fluidity in spelling them out. Damn funny in places, too.

A final, personal comment. Mr. Zubaty, I served three yearsin the U.S. Army, and since then, for the past 39 years, I've been a reporter for my hometown newspaper. In all that time, the only Zubatys I've ever encountered were two or three families right here in my own small Midwestern home. Do you have any ties to Madison, Ind.?

Please see the previous review by Marie Martin-Ali.

It's unfortunate that books critical of feminism or the contemporary female should be subject to such insane hatred. Perhaps these criticisms are only a parody.

This review is from: What Men Know That Women Don't: How to Love Women Without Losing Your Soul (Paperback)

As men, we like to venture into circumstances armed with knowledge, this book does just that. Written very well, from a man who has been there and is able to capture into print his experiences and share them with his fellow man. I found the book to be very informative and at times humorous but above all it armed me with knowledge that I now can view women in a much needed realistic light. I thank the Author Rich Zabaty for that.
