This book is basically, “men are terribly emotionally fragile, and they can make small steps to be better, but women need to just <em>stop bothering them with all their pedantry</em> and just let them be who they are.”

I guarantee, no matter how sexy traditional gender roles are to you, that you do _not_ want to be like Gray's 'men'.

Not only is there is absolutely no difference between men and women in how they complain or offer criticism, but the 'men' Gray describe could be used as textbook example of people with social anxiety.

The utility of violence isn't in the violence itself, but only in the threat of it. It creates immediate behaviour change, but only for so long as the threat is active.

Fringe theories always seem to cluster together. It seems weird, but mainstream theories also do, we just don't often examine them. Examining why different theory stacks arise reveals much about our biases, ideologies, and the influence of community-based knowledge.
