So after the millionth time of picking up this book and getting cheesed off, I do the unintelligible thing of picking it up again…
Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus
…apparently.

This book is the most sexist, condescending piece of crap I have ever read. Men dwell in their caves, to beat their chest and do MAN things. Women fall deep into their well to do emotional ‘housecleaning’, whilst we rack our brains trying to figure out during our emotional wreck, why men choose to beat their chests rather then have deep, meaningful talks with us every night about why our nipples hurt. 

Without doubt John Gray has written this book to reinforce the masculine stereotype and have women pamper to this. Take for example the ‘Men are like rubber bands’ theory. This is where men every now and then need to pull away from their respective loved one in order to have (again) some serious caveman time; ‘when a man loves a woman, peridoically he needs to pull away before he can get closer’. Oh, how very convenient for you; I mean it’s the perfect excuse to go out with the guys right, get drunk all of the time and just completely ignore your partner. It’s perfectly okay though, because this book gives completely ‘legitimate’ reasoning for this, us women will just hang around the house crying while we do the dishes, thinking about how neglected we are.

Pfft yeah right…

I’m sorry to burst your bubble John Gray, but this might have been the scenario for women two centuries ago, but this is most definitely not the case now. Though I must say you have done an excellent job in convincing women that we are nothing but emotional, insecure creatures who needs constant loving and reassurance from our partners in order to function in everyday life. I mean throughout the book this is a consistent theme, delivered with absolute conviction - you nearly even had me going there for a second!

The true case is, this book is completely outdated and is written from a mans point of view, for a mans ‘ideal’ world. I know myself as a woman I don’t wallow in self-pity and misery every time my boyfriends decides he wants to retreat to his ’cave’ for a couple of hours. 
  I also definitely would never put up with the man are like rubber bands theory as a practical element of my relationship. I think any man who would choose to disregard me for ‘mans needs’, would be out of the door immediately. Of course we need alone time and sometimes guys need lad time with they guys, but the exact same is to be said for women. I also know whenever I’ve had a stressful day I like alone time, perhaps a walk or a run. What I don’t need is my boyfriend hovering all over me trying to give me annoying amounts of love and emotional reassurance, to get me out of emotoinal housecleaning, as this book states he should do!

This book I therefore elequently conclude is a pile of masochistic shite.

The lawyer looks at the Yorkshireman and thinks that he fits into the stereotypical ‘cloth cap and clogs’, and that he can fool him easily…
