So she doesn't give a fuck when her prick husband murders a child but now we're supposed to care that her fee-fees are hurt b/c he is basking in the glow of being a celebrity to Tea Bagger and Fox News Fans and he left her at home?

No, just... just no. Step back from your overgeneralization edge there and stop with your PC BS.

Oh I LOVE bluegrass, even more than old-school country. It's my easy listening.

That was awesome so thank you. Getting away from the racist implications of it, I can't stand it when someone says they don't like a type of music but they have no clue who good musicians are within that genre. People do it with jazz and classical all the time too. There's gotta be something within that genre that you…

In the book she often repeats the secret to a happy marriage is "about respect."

Rap is the only type of music associated with black people? Um, jazz. Gospel. Blues, to a large extent, and R&B. I personally would never say "I like every kind of music except x". It's untrue. Yet, I'm generally not a fan of rap and I not only love jazz but play it, teach it, and consider myself a student of its…

"All music except country" usually means "dislikes right wing politics, heavy twang guitar and rural cultural tropes."

when people say they love all music except rap, they are being racist.

She infantilizes him because he infantilizes himself. It's intentional and a massive part of patriarchal norms - when you're a kid, you just get to sit back while everyone takes care of you. You don't have to worry about whether your desires affect someone else, you can be selfish, etc.

I am so sick and tired of idiots like these talking about Domination and submission as though they had a clue. Obviously this moron doesn't. Listen, if you man likes to fuck you without your consent, that doesn't make him edgy and dominant, that makes him a rapist. Masters and Mistresses still have to obtain…

I live in the Bible belt (have all my life), and men aren't interpreting ANYTHING. They are taught, very explicitly through church and culture that to be a heterosexual male means that your birthright is knowing what is moral and acceptable, and to legislate it by culture, law and, if need be, violence.

Agreed. And you're talking about 'power exchange' (thanks Violet Blue and Dan Savage for educating me!) where there are nice things like Safe Words and limits and boundaries. And generally it's not a 24/7 thing. Eventually everyone unzips the hood, takes off the gimp suit and normal life resumes — albeit with huge…

I wonder how he'd feel about a book that told wives that they should spin their husbands around and give 'em a good pegging, because they REALLY want it, regardless of what they tell you?

This reads more like an illustrated guide to Stockholm Syndrome. So tragic and enraging.

My ethnicity is 100% italian. All of my grandparents came over from Italy. And I can tell you right now that is NOT love "italian style". The women and men in my family would never say any of these things nor would they condone this. Even my oddly racist aunt and uncle would think this is ridiculous. He's never…

"My sons can have a separate entrance to the house."

I am conflicted by feeling genuinely sorry for this woman while wanting to slap her.

Does she have a therapy degree? A counseling degree? Any degree at all?
