The Secrets of Fascinating Womanhood is a hilarious book. Supposedly written by "Angela", the book was in reality authored by a David Coory — who seems to be some sort of arch-conservative. Indeed, the book was actually published in 1989.
The focus of the book seems to be on saving one's marriage. To put it tactfully, the advice seems quite suspect. Here's a bit of choice advice from this book:
- Admire his masculine qualities and never wound his sensitive pride
- Watch what men do, and do the opposite
- To obtain your needs from your husband, ask as a young girl asks her father
That last piece of advice is wrong on so many levels. I, for one, don't want a "young girl" to obtain her needs from me. I want a woman. It's just too creepy to be asked as a "father" for anything marriage related.
We must remember, of course, the kind of author we're talking about. Apparently, Mr Coory finds these women to be sexually arousing. Something tells me that the Sears catalogue was well maintained at the Coory household.
