Feelings and summary of the book “ten stupid things women do to mess up their lives” by Dr. Laura Schlessinger, circa 1993
When you devote your life to “finding yourself,” you probably won’t. Action is everything.
There is no ‘having’ self-esteem if you cannot earn it. You earn your self-esteem by accomplishing goals, impressing yourself, experiencing failure and willing to go on.
Women can learn from men not wanting to get into a family before having a solid career.
Sometimes, women see their men as their whole life, while men see their women as a mere blip in their life.
“If I tried to make my son my sole purpose in life, I’d probably have psychologically destroyed him with my overwhelming demand that he either fulfill my dreams or display such excellence that my craving for reflected identity would be satisfied.”
“Don’t do anything you can’t talk about – with that person.”
To men sex doesn’t equal romance.
Women should talk about what they really want in the relationship before having sex.
Making babies is not the solution to a bad relationship, it’ll make it harder to escape from it later on.
Don’t think you can ‘change him’, if he’s not mature enough to realize he’s a jackass, dump him.
Plots in movies puzzle me where people seemingly fall in love without meaningful conversations to get to know each other better. Ex: ‘Dirty Dancing’. I have the strongest feeling that if they were to get married, they would find many ‘unexpected’ traits in each other they may not be able to tolerate, and the ‘loving feeling’ will go vamoosh. The movie industry is acting extremely irresponsible as a broad audience media in creating these relationships in an ideal light. Couples who cohabitate with their spouses-to-be have a higher divorce rate than those who don’t. (Did someone just sneeze “Bridget Jones”? ) Though hers is a wonderful relationship, it’s the exception. Now we all like to think we’re special and ‘the exception’, but we should be more realistic and critical about the life that television depicts.
Reading her books makes me want to reiterate my stance on abstinence – don’t have sex before marriage. Even though the feminist movement has given women (in the west) more freedom and less condemnation, the chances of you getting emotionally hurt (because women tend to tie the physical with romance) and unwanted pregnancy is a big risk.
