Blah! Ok, maybe not a complete Blah!, cuz it had lots of really good points, but there was a LOT in that book i didn't agree with.
Par exemple.
The entire basis of the book was structured around the premise that the one uniting factor we as women have with eachother is the fact that we all have a cunt, and should celebrate that.
I'm sorry, but as a feminist and someone who i'd expect to be a little more socially aware and sensitive to gender issues, she completely neglects the LARGE populations of transgendered people who identify completely as women, but don't happen to have the matching bits and pieces. I just expected something a bit more sensitive then that, and recognizing that gender doesn't = sex based on genitalia. Women should be united based on gender, not sex, IMO. I just thought it completely neglected and ostricized a group that we should be embracing.
Also, her style of writing drove me INSANE. She was trying waaay too hard to be hip.
But that aside, and some other stuff i had issues with, it was good.
And Locke.... biggup yaself for Siddartha. Such a good book.
