It's the the kind of book that will be gracing my bookshelves any time soon. My favourite book is called 'Sexualia: From Prehistory to Cyberspace'. Simply pectacular reading.

But I have to say it does have a ring of truth to it... Women for fear of hurting the blokes feelings will do this, and I can totally understand why, then the whole viscious cycle just keeps going when you are so uptight that you can't just relax and enjoy the journey. The whole men thing, yes, alot of them will do whatever it takes to get what they want. This is the one that worries me, particularly as a mother to a very young daughter, I have to wonder what the world will be like when she comes of age in about ten years. I of course want her to have a fantastic sex life, without the hurt, abuse and powerlessness... I suppose the best way to ensure this is to teach her that she is a valid and beautiful woman who has alot to offer a man, and to never compromise herself or let herself be talked into doing anything she doesn't want to do. Self respect, confidence and intuition.

Someone very close to me tells her girls do their chores because as women thats your job and you will have to forever and take care of your husband...........and your husband will leave!!!!Dont shoot the messenger I get mad at her for saying it but there is so much truth in her words.

Maybe review a book once a week or a month and invite others to share what they are reading at the moment. I am an avid reader and from what I can see there are a fair few of us. I have just started reading a book called 'women of the Asylum.' it's focus is on 26 first person accounts from women committed to Mental Asylums from 1840 - 1945. I find womens issues fascinating.

As a shared custody father of two girls, I've found the book 'Raising girls ' by Gisela Preuschoff fits mostly with my common sense ideals. Although she goes a bit deep into the bit about all girls needing a pony, for the most part I find this book valuable as a daughter rearing tool for a dad... After all, you are a different species ;) A- Posted from rhpmobile

To sell her book I guess? How much truth is in it only her and her daughter know. To make such a statement like she has I wouldn't trust her words that much.

I don't think we fake relationships although we can exagerate attraction and we can revel in destroying one when we are really bad

Are you serious about the pony? Lol sounds like something a little girl would write in herself for dad to read, hehe

Im absolutely serious... She goes on and on about bonding and nurturing and how horses are loyal and won't let you down... bloody hippy types However, on closer inspection, the crayon writing and kindergarten spelling may indicate the wishful thinking of a child ... Good catch MSC... Phew.. bit hard for me to get a pony to fit on my balcony... A

just saw the author interviewed,but I understand it takes the form of letters to her daughter who is now threeI don't know at what age she plans on giving her this paricular piece of advice. I was a single parent ,almost zero input from my daughter's father,his choice not mine.But I only ever said positive things about him and tried to help them build some sort of relatikonship becaude regardless of our situation he is her father.Finally 2 years ago they built a friendship and now they see each other at least twice a year.In fact she just spent a week with him in Melbourne. Quite frankly I think being positive about relationships and sexuality and supporting our children when things go right or wrong is the healthy thing to do. Saskia I think an online book club sounds great and the book you mention sounds fascinating.I had a great aunt who institutionalized in her thirties after her fiance was killed it was very common for that to happen.

Sadly like everything, the faking of relationships works both ways. Having made very poor choices in women (In a relationship context..) I can vouch for this absolutely. Its not gender specific sadly but more societal. I have a daughter also and I worry for her a lot on that front. I tend to think educating her to be completely self sufficient, to be able to self reference and not seek external validation, and to seek her own happiness without having someone else provide it for her, is the safest way to go.. I have to admit I get very tired of the cynicism that exists out there in relationship land for dating or people seeking. The number of times i've had friends, even good friends say to me when I mention I'd met someone, things like "don't get your hopes up" and "don't have any expectations" and so on.. its like they try to kill any hope that may be there utterly so that if you do actually form a relationship its a surprise and bonus!Sad reflection on the throw away attitude society has with relationships in general now I think...

Just appalled to imagine that a woman could be institutionalised at her husbands will, and he would be the only person who could have her removed... alot of men used this to their advantage. How sad and frustrating for these poor ladies who were mostly not insane in any way shape or form, alot were in fact very clever and well before their time, it's just that they would speak out about womens issues and I guess this was quite threatening to men back in the day when we were only supposed to be barefoot, pregnant and tied to the kitchen sink. It was thought that women should not attempt to educate themselves as this would surely drive them mad!!! There is a poem written by an unknown woman about her time, it is quite long, but might see if I can post it in the next few days, it really shows her strength through extreme sadness.

"The girl with the butterfly tattoo" as I heard the author Danielle Miller interviewed on radio and was VERY impressed. It's aimed at teens and empowers them that their worth is NOT about how hot or thin they are. I highly recommend it. And I'm in for the idea of a book club too!
