"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.
