Full disclosure: This is not really a book review it is a chapter review because I read the first two chapters then burned it which sucks because now I need a new Kindle.
I saw some people talking about this book on twitter and since I am always interested in advice books for girls I thought I would check it out. My initial reaction was that the title was stupid and immature and that the book probably sucked as most advice books do. So I checked out the reviews on Amazon and was surprised that it received mostly good reviews so I bought it.
The first chapter of this book is about women controlling their emotions and the condescending bitch author says this is the hardest and most important lesson you will learn and offers gems like this “We are emotional creatures. We think with our hearts and we act on emotion. It is a natural and completely normal part of being female”.
“You must evolve if you are to beat men at their own game. You must learn to control your emotions”.
“When you master your ability to control your emotions, you take away a man’s power over you”. While it may be technically “wrong” to mask and control your emotions for your own selfish benefit, it is simply a necessity you must accept in order to win the game”.
“Since the beginning of time, men have had us figured out. They know how to manipulate is, lie to us, cheat on us, play with our minds and tear out our hearts”.
“They know our weakness: our emotions….”
“The majority of men are selfish and will do and say anything just to get what they need”
“We don’t even realize it, but our emotions have made us easy targets. Our emotions have caused us to do things we would never do”.
I could go on and on with quotes from this book but here is the gist: Women are so emotional that they are fucking stupid and cannot make rational decisions. If you were to follow the author’s line of reasoning than you reach the logical conclusion that women should not be allowed to vote or hold public office because they simply can’t control themselves. The first female president will be loving and compassionate but as soon as she gets in a fight with her husband she is going to bomb Jamaica. It won’t be her fault though because women can’t read maps so she will think she is bombing the Cuban commies.
The author gives other stupid advice like don’t answer the phone on the first ring and other shit teenage girls talk about. Then there is more gems:
“God gave you a vagina; learn how to use it”.
“When a woman realizes that what she has in between her legs gives her great power, she can get whatever she wants! Once you know how to work what you’ve got, life becomes easier”.
“You can get anything you want from men, once you learn how to use your pussy to your advantage”.
I’m not making that up the book actually says that.
“Women who realize that their vagina is valuable will always have the upper hand. When you start to respect and value your vagina, so will the men in your life. Once they see that you are a woman who knows the value of her pussy, they will either back off because they know they cannot handle (aka afford) a girl like you or they will give you your asking price, whatever that may be”.
I’m not fucking kidding it says that. The book goes on to say how women can use their pussy to get diamonds, a house or a commitment.
This book is so fucking bad it seems like it was written by a 15 year old who just got her heart broken. I cannot believe women are reading this book and taking the advice. As I read this book I kept picturing the following scenario: “come here pumpkin I want to talk to you. Listen, I don’t want you to worry about school or grades or sports or anything because none of that matters. The only thing that matters is your vagina so use it wisely”. “That is how you will get what you want so don’t worry about being smart or anything like that”.
This book is equally insulting to men and women. It assumes we are in some kind of game where we have to manipulate each other to get what we want.
Yes women are more emotional so what? It is one of the things that is wonderful about women and it doesn’t mean they are dumb and can’t think clearly it means they are caring and put others first and they represent the best part of humanity.
If you take this advice and you get a man you will end up with a man who only cares about pussy and not you as a person. Then you will be very disappointed to learn you’re not the only pussy in town.
Two things:
1. I cannot believe a book like this exists and actually got good reviews!
2. I cannot believe I’m the first person to comment on your blog. I should get a gold star or something.
You get a gold star KG
Thanks, RM.
This chick’s author profile on Amazon says she was a producer for Power 96 in Miami. Do you know what that is?
I am pretty sure its s radio station
No
Well I guess I am off to google it.
Power 96 is the main radio station of South Beach, Miami, Fl. It plays mostly hip-hop, Rap, R&B. In my opinion, the morning show DJ’s can be a little obnoxious…
I grew up in South Florida and now knowing she’s from South Beach, it makes perfect sense… If you’ve been to South Beach, you know what I’m talking about…
As the mother of a young daughter this makes me ill. I would glady throw a few dollars into the pottruck for you to buy a new kindle.
Autofill got me *pot* lol
Thanks Rhonda
At first I felt sorry for your Kindle catching on fire; but I know it just went kamikaze because it couldn’t stand itself with that book in its memory!!
How did this book ever get good review. This is the garbage that girls have been fighting against for years! Go to college to get your MRS. degree. Don’t worry about anything else. Sickening!
RM, I hereby dub thee the Great Enlightener!
Thanks LG it isn’t hard when they write shit like this
With a name like this book has, I wouldn’t even give it a second look. You do know ? that you can download samples of books for free before you actually spend $$ on them.
No I didn’t
On Amazon under the Buy One Click yellow button on the right, underneath it there is a white button that says, “Send Sample” and it will send a free sample to your Kindle
I love helping
You can also get a full refund if it’s within 7 days of purchase.
RM, you need to post your review on Amazon. Clean up the language and don’t personally attack the author so it’s accepted. But I definitely think you should put your opposing view on it there.
Brilliant RM. I had a friend that kind of explained it to his teen daughter like that… There’s plenty of girls to sleep with but there’s very few to make a life with. Be what someone wants from the neck up and not the waist down.
This book offends me by existing.
And usually the book gets all those glowing reviews from friends or idiots. I saw one book that had 3 reviews and they were all from the author in multiple accounts.
It bothers me that someone would even publish this book, especially women.
I have never heard of this book and thanks RM I won’t bother reading it. I like that I am sensitive it’s what makes me the person I am. And I agree if pussy is all he is looking for there sure a lot out there for him to find. Mine is reserved for someone to love me with flaws and all.
Amen Kelly!
Oh, shit. I’m half way through writing my Power Of The Penis book and now I’m having second thoughts about releasing it…
Wait, I just checked that books rankings and it’s selling pretty f’ing well. Now I’m even more depressed than I was before. Thanks RM.
It is depressing man. I am writing “The Power of the Little Penis”
Not little, just average. Aren’t we all except the other five percent ones I like to refer to as the “lucky bastards”
Yeah they are lucky. I want to be hung godammit
I could hang you on the wall in chains Oh Matador
Oh, not that kind of hung
LG,
I think RM wishes he had a Viking! Lmaoo
LOL Granny, that Viking scares me! There’s ample, and then there’s downright…OMG, it’s going to reach my throat.
Lmao Selena we just need to put it over the shoulder and purp it.
Wow, I’m surprise you made it through two chapters. You actually bought the book. I’m sorry. Did you really burn your kindle or just being dramatic? I don’t know what to say.
Other than that I hope you find a better book that you will enjoy.
No I didn’t burn my kindle but I wanted to.
maybe you should just perform an exorcism on your Kindle
LOL
You know you could get a refund don’t you? That would send a clear message.
Who the hell is the publisher, or was it self-pubbed? (Betting self-pubbed.)
Utter garbage that gives women a bad name. I pray anyone foolish enough to have read it, knows it’s garbage and BS.
Bobbi
Apparently they don’t Bobbi
Well this BLEW up the crit room. Posted the link (here) and with a WTH? and got the no one should dish an author bit.
Authors are untouchable. They can do and say without consequence.
Feathers were ruffled, but posted about.
http://www.gather.com/viewArticle.action?articleId=281474981679238
*Sigh* I’m always starting shit it seems.
I don’t even leave the house. Or drink.
This must change. A nice amaretto sour would be nice occasionally. LOL, last two times I was out (a rarity) and asked for one, they were out of the sour mix.
Oh Bobbi, I leave you alone for a few minutes and you get into all kinds of trouble.
Seems like RM learned a lesson: Always download the sample first.
Can’t believe there’s crap like that out there. No, scratch that. I believe people put that kind of stuff out there, but I can’t believe people are giving it good reviews.
Wow, just wow. I have to agree, the title is ridiculous. I shudder to think woman are actually taking this woman’s advice!
They are
Good Lord! I hope would hope this was written in jest but sadly that doesn’t seem to be the case. The fact that anyone punished this trash just blows my mind. The idea that you heard people were actually listening to this advice frightens me.
It seems to be very popular
Wow just wow. Seems like this is an instruction guide in how to be a gold digger. How fulfilling…not!
That is exactly what it is
Here I was just thinking about how lucky I am that I possess the only thing men are really interested in, then I read this. OMG! What does she mean that we are more emotional??? I mean this upsets me so much I almost couldn’t finish the post because of the stream of tears flooding my eyes as I wave my arms in the air!!! Wait…I need another tissue..*Sniff*
ROFL!
Thanks Carin
Bwahahahahahahhah!
I heart you, Heidi!
I heart you too. Ladybug
Heidi…..that was awesome!!! ” I posses the only thing that men are really interested in”.
We all do Pat…We all do
<3 Heidi!
Thanks Crazy Granny
LOL LOL! Heidi. Do you need a hug? I’ll cry in joint emotional, irrational sisterhood with you.
Thanks Selena. Can we light candles and sing Celine Dion Songs?
Candles yes.
Celine who? She’s the American singer in Vegas, right?
Yes, I think she’s from North Dakota.
OMG! I think it has finally happened, I am speechless. Until now I was a virgin to speechlessness………
Did you read the disclaimer on the Amazon description of the book?
DISCLAIMER: This book contains subject matter which may be offensive to some readers.
Yep, it sure does. I’m not even sure I have words to describe how disappointed I am that some women read this shit and take it to heart in an attempt to fix their problems. I’m more horrified that all men are portrayed as heartless liars, cheaters, and manipulators. If you think using your vagina to get what you want is the way to go, then I’m of the opinion that you deserve what you get.
I couldn’t agree more
LOL! thats the first time I’ve heard of a disclaimer in case you’re not stupid.
Nice post Ladybug I agree.
It almost sounds like the author is trying to pimp out the entire female population. I’m thinking I’ll pass on being her ho. Lol. She is so full of shit it disgusts me! I am glad you posted this RM, so curious minds will not waste their money on this book. Sorry you wasted yours.
Thanks Lulu!
Im thinking the author is one of those women who believes she is a princess – o what who was the author Paris Hilton…O.O or a Kardashian? I mean really come on – You go RM you got it right.
Thanks Kerry!
I’m with you, Bobbi. My first thought was, this HAS to be self-published. No publisher would touch that.
And RM, you didn’t waste your money. You used it to steer others clear of this drivel. Thank you. I don’t have children, but I have grand-nieces, and I sincerely hope they don’t get anywhere near such outrageous ideas.
Thanks Cris
It certainly sounds like a how to book ! It’s subtitle should be. ” How to suck the Life Out of Your Man with your Vagussy”. RM…you know what that’s like….
LOL thanks Pat
For the love of God, who is this idiot and why hasn’t she been killed, or at the very least, her mouth and fingers sewn closed? If that advice worked, Sarah Palin would be president now.
Going to wash my eyes out now. Maybe have a drink too, since I’m so “emotional”
Char
I would love to meet up with that dumb ass bitch in a dark alley, oh, hell, right on a street corner where she is selling herself and kick the shit out of her.
That woman is a digrace to the female population. Hopefully she will never find a man to have kids with because they sure would be fucked up in the head.
I went and checked. She self pubbed and self pubbed in print to. Also has it free for prime members that could be why it seems to be popular. It is still in the 1000′s so not that popular. Unfucking believable that someone would actually publish that trash in book form.
Ok. Rant over. But man, I’m still pissed.
The worst thing is if young impressionable girls read this and follow that advice…. Yep i’m still pissed.
Go Granny Go!
“Yes women are more emotional so what? It is one of the things that is wonderful about women and it doesn’t mean they are dumb and can’t think clearly it means they are caring and put others first and they represent the best part of humanity.”
What wonderful words (made one small correction can to can’t). You really cherish women and the women in your life are so lucky.
This is a case where I think some women are:
a. Dumb as they really believe this drivel
b. Had bad role models in their life and had to look up to these crappy reality TV people
c. unable to see their own self worth
d. reading and commenting that the book is great because someone paid for a review or they are a relative.
Thanks for a great post
“Since the beginning of time, men have had us figured out. They know how to manipulate is, lie to us, cheat on us, play with our minds and tear out our hearts”.
I’m sorry but that is the funniest thing I have ever read. This chick is on crack. There isn’t a man on this planet who has women figured out. Women know exactly when a man is “trying” to lie to us. Some stupid, insecure women just lie to themselves by ignoring the signs. Keep on spreading your legs, you ignorant bitch. (Was that too harsh? Did I hurt her feelings?)
I wish my pussy had real powers. Like if I could sleep in on Saturday and she would do the wash and the grocery shopping? That would be so cool. I would even reward her with vajazzling!
LOL!
I am really resisting the impulse to go put up a review of the first two chapters of this book. The public needs to be warned. I will not because it would be dishonest. I do not have the time to give this book in order to post a review. HHmmmm, maybe I could go to her website and direct her followers to this blog?? (yeah, I won’t)
I think LB has read this book. She said something along the lines of “No pussy till we’re engaged” and I threw a ring at her.
hahahahhahahahhahahah!
Well done, RM. Thank you for bringing it out so that people who read this blog will know to stay away. Unless of course they are hookers who need to be validated for what they do, then they can have a go at it.
Short synopsis of her imitation of a book. “Ladies you’re sitting on a gold mine use it and abuse it.”
I still believe that the majority of parents have a lot of common sense, love, and commitment to putting in the time and patience like you and Lexie do, that their daughters and your daughters wouldn’t even look twice at trashy books like this and would never take advice from a woman who has major man-hate issues.
She is the female version of a misogynist. Those of us with sons, have to ensure that they recognize dumb-ass women like this exist and stay far away from them.
I agree Selena!
What a fucking disgrace to women, men, and the reputation of publishing. I would’ve burned it, too, Remy.
It was insulting to everyone
Geesh, welcome to the She Woman Man Haters Club!
You need to start a Do Not Read List.
Good idea
i have many thoughts and suspicions about this book. first i think the author is a male. second, there are just enough annoying stupid women in this world who give the premise of the author’s theory some validity. the problem is how cockeyed the author takes the premise into some stupid fantasy of Vmanstery. That there are enough stupid men to fall for such goofiness is another book.
Interesting theory
Oh Lord!! Are you sure this book isn’t some kind of parody? I can’t believe women would actually read this book and give it a positive review. You’re probably right, RM. The author’s probably 15 and paid her girlfriends to flood it with good reviews. Either that, or we’re the only two sane people left in the world. LOL!!
Yeah it;s not a parody
The BBLs above said it all and better than I could have.
RM I always adore the last lines of your blogs!
Thanks Lucie. I am glad your e is back
Mr. RM so, this book basically says that while I’m having an emotional moment and my husband holds me and comforts me, he’s planning on using that against me? Uh, the snake! I knew he was smart, but I didn’t realize how much. He probably even known what I have between my legs!!!
Seriously, I don’t know what’s worst, that someone is giving that “advice” or that women are, actually, trying to follow it
Yeah I know it’s sad
I agree, Grettel.
She not only gives bad advice, but she is insulting men at the same time.
My husband said this morning, this idiot has no clue that men do know what’s between a woman’s legs, it’s what’s between their ears that will captivate them and keep them interested, honor them, cherish them and treat them with the respect all women deserve.
Another reminder why I married him, even if he outed my nickname.
Right Selena. I respect my husband and he has earned that respect. I can’t imagine love, or any relationship, without respect.
What! It is a book such as this that will certainly push female evolution back a notch for those that follow what it professes. I hope no one takes to heart its corrupt dictum and sees it for the tripe it is.
1: every straight-female over a certain age knows the power of their vaginas and also realizes it doesn’t have to be advertised or sold in order to gain that power. The power is just there. Men have their own power and women are more than aware of it.
2: that book should be renamed to something like “How to whore yourself out without standing on a street corner”.
3: If that book were to be followed it’d likely emasculate men and in effect, turn them into something we don’t want (okay….unless you’re a Domme wannabe).
RM: if you haven’t returned that book (and want to) it is easy to do. Go to your MANAGE YOUR KINDLE, find the title, go to the drop down on the right of the title and then choose: RETURN FOR REFUND. They’ll ask for a reason and I believe one of the reasons is that you found it offensive.
From what you’ve reviewed of it I’d imagine we all found it offensive and degrading. It’d seem that ANYONE can now self-publish on Amazon.
Thank you for the review RM. Have a good weekend with the fam.
Wha-Wha-WHATTTTTTFFFFFFFF!! Damn they will publish anything these days. Can you please post this review as a review on amazon for the book? “God gave you a vagina; learn how to use it.” This is ridiculous. Personally I’m convinced that God is a man anyway, he gave us a vagina and made it bled every month. No woman would do that to another woman. Does this mean that we can use our cooters to control God into giving us shit too? Oh the possibilities…do you think I could convince him to make a double rainbow every other day and to add another day to the week so we can have 3-day weekends?
I can’t post it on amazon because i would have to clean it up and i don’t know how to do that
Would you like me to edit for you?
What? silly amazon, they should know its all or nothing when it comes to the Matador
Now that’s a book that could set women’s rights back oh, say a century or two. Pretty disgusting, and so NOT the message we want to give young women.
Thanks, RM. This is one I would definitely NOT read. And, for what it’s worth, this is self-published through CreateSpace, which is euphemistically called an independent publishing platform, which means that they will format for ereaders or print out copies for a fee.
I can’t believe anyone is buying it and that the reviews are good
The title may have captivated them perhaps?
Actually, I have no answer, I just don’t understand the mentality of some (especially a woman) who would write this garbage or even read it and then praise it.
There are so many well-written indie books that people could support.
I am ashamed of my gender (the minority who support this trash).
My guess is it’s the title gimmick getting this book it’s attention to start and is possibly being bought by young women with the messed-up perception that calling their lady-parts by that name is somehow empowering.
In truth, of course, it just perpetuates the issues that cause most marriages and relationships to fail: Selfishness.
You know why men and women are different? To balance out the human race not wage some sort of stupid war where each gender tries to out-”use” the other. I agree RM, author needs to grow-up. Good post topic!
Thanks E Lee great post
Wow, what an utter load of horseshit. Thanks for speaking out about this. I hope you also left a review on Amazon to counter-balance the other ones you mentioned.
This is why I never buy based off Amazon reviews anymore. I always try a sample on Kindle or check out a few pages in the store first, or wait for one of the reviewers or friends who have opinions I know are close to mine to recommend before I buy.
<3,
-J
It had no reviews on BN
Great Scott! If this book were done in paper it wouldn’t be worthy of wiping my ass. Bitter much, Ms. King?
Whew! I thought you were reviewing my book. Scared me to death. Now that I’m over my self-centered moment, WOW! That must’ve of been written by the psycho-bitch I know. Long story. Obviously, she has lots of friends or is a member of a psycho-bitch club. That’s how she got the good reviews. Or bribed them. I’ve learn that helps…uh…someone told me that helps.
By the way, the word for man-hater is misandrist. Wikipedia said the word didn’t show up until the later half of the 20th century. Strange, isn’t it? After the feminist movement. Good movement that was warped by some. Personally, I love men. If I were to be reborn as a man, I would be gay.
I know how you feel I am a male lesbian
This book, and books like it, set our evolution back a couple of hundred years, maybe thousands. It demeans both men and women by making us all “ho’s and pimps”, otherwise known as “commodity and broker”. The author probably also stated in the book that our vaginas have the power to kill rapists sperm and other nonsensical stuff like that. But, we live in a world where even bad books can get good reviews. All it takes is having a few friends go onto Amazon and write the reviews. Amazon can’t vet them to see if they are real. Reviews are subjective anyway.
I’m sorry the book exists, but, hey, I felt the same way about Life of Pi, which I did throw against the wall and scream that I wished the main character would die already. Now they are making a movie about it. Sigh.
“Kara King is a former on-air personality and producer for Power 96 in Miami. She left that hectic lifestyle to become a wife, stay at home mother and author.” My husband listened to her show. I can’t believe that any woman could write something like that or believe something like that!
*gasp* I LOVED this book! It was so empowering! I think if you would have finished it you would see why ppl are raving about it. IMHO It really is sending a positive message to young women to value themselves and NOT give it away easily. It even talks about recognizing and appreciating GOOD GUYS and not rewarding BAD GUYS. I recommended it to all my friends, and they all love it too. The part about controlling emotions was in refrence to ending relationships and in the beginning of relationships, (great advice for those women we all know, who jump into bad relationships or have a hard time leaving a bad guy.) I am sorry…I love this blog, but I have to say this: You totally missed the message of the book. In fact, now that you mention it, I am off to give it a good review.
Brandy I didn’t read the whole thing because I couldn’t get past the condescending attitude of the author and the fact that she is reducing women to their anatomy. It seems she is into playing games and I don’t like that stuff but I am really glad you commented and different opinions are always welcome
Just reading prior posts on your blog, big guy…and just maybe the Power of the Pussy was actually written by a guy…wouldn’t surprise me at all. Sounds a bit tongue in cheek to me. Ouch…bad pun.
maybe, either way it sucks
Gross.
Thanks for reading that bullshit. You deserve a Gold Star.
Just thought I’d drop a quick comment:
I actually read the ENTIRE book in an attempt to write a book review for a women’s studies class. After about chapter 3, I wanted to claw out my own eyeballs. As if the garbage being spewed wasn’t enough, the book was loaded with spelling and grammatical errors. I seriously do not know how this book received any good reviews. Either those were from friends and family of the author, or the female species is in serious trouble!
RM,
Given the language you used in your review, It’s difficult to understand that King’s choice of words would bother you that much.
It seems, perhaps, that you’ve gotten a bit threatened by the message that this book is trying to convey; women should start acting like ladies, be independent, and stop allowing their lack of self-esteem to let men (or anyone else) treat them poorly.
Also, the author points out both men AND women’s typical innate responses to the material she’s writing about.
You’re a man, so OF COURSE you’re not going to appreciate this book. If there was a book entitled “Power of the Penis,” I wouldn’t read it and if I half-attempted to (really, come on, you read TWO chapters?), probably wouldn’t like what I read.
Thanks,
AJ
