This is the first I've heard of Regender and I love it. I'm going to start running dating/relationship advice through it, starting with Tracy McMillan's (both)! Here's what we get:
Here's what I mean by bitch. I mean you're angry. You probably don't think you're angry. You think you're super smart, or if you've been to a lot of therapy, that you're setting boundaries. But the truth is you're pissed. At your dad. At the military-industrial complex. At Samuel Palin. And it's scaring women off. The deal is: most women just want to marry someone who is nice to them... Male anger terrifies women. I know it seems unfair that you have to work around a woman's fear and insecurity in order to get married -- but actually, it's perfect, since working around a woman's fear and insecurity is big part of what you'll be doing as a husband.and
When it comes to choosing a wife, only one thing really, truly matters: character. So it stands to reason that a woman's character should be at the top of the list of things you are looking for, right? But if you're not married, I already know it isn't... Instead, you are looking for someone tall. Or rich... Unfortunately, this is not the thinking of a husband. This is the thinking of a teenaged boy. And women of character do not want to marry teenaged boys. Because teenage boys are never happy.and (the only one from the second article)
[Okay, Regender didn't have to do any work on that one, but you see my point. Also, hypocritically, I'm not touching #9 because I agree with that one.]
You overdrink. You overeat. You overspend. You under-earn. Whatever it is, there's (at least) one big thing in your life -- an attitude, a behavior, a vice -- that you absolutely, for sure, under-no-circumstances want to let go of.
Stay tuned. I have a sense I'll be plugging many an article into Regender.
