I found Schaef's views sexist to both men and women. I found her views outdated and an overraction. I do believe there is a White Male System but I think she has overanalyzed certain actions of men in their attempt to suppress women. It seems that everything men do, say, believe are ways to control women. I find this impossible. According to her, all men are bad and all women are angry. I know wonderful men who do not give in to this system. Also, I'm not angry about being a woman. I have seen how women rights have come leaps and bounds through history. I also don't believe she gives enough credit to the unique differences between men and women. These differences should be celebrated not picked apart and translated as whys men are opressing women.

Obviously this was written for people that live before the liberated 60's. Outdated and inane, it pits a men vs women mentality rather than the harmony that should prevail due to the differences. The differences is what makes a union strong as well as the similarities. Maybe we should have all been born with both sex organs but there is a separation for a reason.

I found this book to be a POWERFUL awakener for ALL women. It will take your blinders off completely and show you the 'game' the white male society plays on all women and all people of other races. After reading this book, you'll be very angry at how you've been duped -- BUT YOU WILL NEVER BE FOOLED INTO THINKING YOU'RE INFERIOR AGAIN.
