As a man, I’ve seen and heard of more than a few books by men, describing “all men” as something vile, repugnant, repulsive, and not at all like myself nor many of the men I know of through work and family. I’m sure that more than a few women here are aware of similar books by women, about “all women”. Now, a book about either sex, from someone who knows what they’re talking about, by either sex, is a rubber chicken of a different color.
If you would like to read something good pick up Dr. Jordan Peterson’s 12 Rules for Life. Then after reading it listen/watch some of this lectures on Youtube. His writing is for and about all people not just women or men.
This is why I prefer men commenting to women about how men tend to think. But women commenting on women? Heck, I don’t even understand women sometimes!
Like the way the sign Abnormal Studies is centered over the men/women books. Might call it Absurd Studies, except that I know there are some truly thoughtful writers on both sides, struggling to make sense of that most convoluted of relationships.
However, if not for those convolutions, humorists and comedians would have nothing to talk about except politics. That would be about equal to being left in the kitchen of a convention center to wash all the dishes by hand. Bo-o-o-o-o-ring.
I love reading the headlines on the magazines at the check out counter. Some of the women’s magazines have articles like, “What men really think about sex.” Usually by a female author.

The politics section should be moved to the other side of the check out counter.

With an Abnormal Studies section, there would have been at least one comment about Trump by now.

I believe fiction, humor, and romance could all apply to that section. Especially fiction.

Has “place of speech” come to humor or is it the other way around? :-)

Shouldn’t the “Politics” section be either under “Horror” or “Fiction”?
tripwire45 almost 6 years ago
I suppose I could make a joke about how men don’t understand women, so the “analysis of women by men” section should be impossible.

I was fired from a book store, for moving the bibles to the fiction section.

Unfortunately, people tend to choose books (and media) that they think will support and validate their own beliefs.
