Discover the one thing you need to know about men and women

At some point while you're listening to this audiobook, a light will click on, and you will instantly understand. Things that have been a mystery to you for years will suddenly make sense because you'll see the inner logic of it all. The world will be a new place for you.

Most of the things you think you know about men and women are wrong, according to the author of this book. Krehbiel disassembles modern myths about how and why men and women relate to one another the way they do and offers a very politically incorrect agenda for how things ought to be.

"This book is a stiff slap of Skin Bracer on each cheek after a close shave," says one commenter. "Laugh-out-loud funny," says another.

This book challenges current assumptions guided by feminism and victimhood and asserts without apology that "men and women are different" and that gender roles are not the result of a worldwide conspiracy to disempower women.

These 50 politically incorrect thoughts call young men to abandon the modern approach and look at love, marriage, and sex from a different point of view. It's a radical call for men to embrace the fact that, whether they like it or not, it really is "women and children first", and in order for society to survive, we have to get back to that attitude.

Yes!

Yes, yes, and yes! Do yourself and favor and at least expose yourself to these ideas. Even if you don’t think you’ll agree. You don’t have to agree if the argument is not coherent.

The Opposite of Almost Everything I Was Taught

As a 57 year old wife with 3 adult kids, I found this a somewhat lighthearted yet very serious exposition of the realities I've lived and observed, contradicting my upbringing which told me to fear subjugation and disrespect from men. Had I known these things as a teen and young married, what misery I could have avoided, and how much better I would have understood what made my husband tick (in a more positive light) and I could have communicated what makes me tick to my poor husband much better. While the title and main theme comes across crass, as do some of the explanations of the differences between men and women, they make the author's point well. Ultimately Greg Krehbiel seeks to inspire men to be strong leaders, capable of gentlemanliness, without apologizing for being a man. He encourages men and women both to value our general differences, and to seek to make the sacrifices needed to be a better person and a better spouse, and to embrace who we are wired to be as men and women, for the sake of families and society, but also for our own contentment and happiness.

What I value most is the author's call for a man to be alpha, fleshing out of what it means for a man to be an alpha without being a jerk. He explains why being a strong man is so important to women, even if they don't realize it. I have so often observed that it is the nicest guys, the weak guys, who bring the greatest heartache to women who need them to first be able to make decisions instead of this, "whatever you want dear" burden they lay on their wives (or other women in their lives), but also women need a man who will stand up and protect them and their family, and fight for what is right, rather than appease bulies and avoid all conflict at all costs, while leaving women to confront and fight the battles on their own--things our 1970s moms didn't warn us about.

I especially appreciated his emphasis to husbands to care for their outward appearance and carry themselves in such a way that other women find them admirable and attractive--because this is attractive to their wives! Nobody ever says that, but it is so true! And his stance on the "man cave" is exactly spot on; again, something I've never heard any man address, but really does have profound implications on the psyche of who a man thinks he is.

The book is obviously written to men, but I found it very insightful in evaluating my own tendencies, and something I will encourage my 20 year old son to listen to, without hesitation. In spite of its un-PC moments, and not being written with a Christian audience in mind, I think this would still be an ultra valuable tool for pastors to work through with young men in their congregations; it is fully in keeping with natural law principles that have sustained marriage and families for millennia, as it's emphasis is to reconsider modern cultural "dogmas" while not seeking to make new, indisputable dogmas.

This was a very easy "audio read" on topics that are profoundly important. I prefer author narrated books, and this was no exception. Greg did a terrific job. Hearing him read his own words kept me very engaged while I was doing some intense spring cleaning (housewife perk--listening to mind expanding audiobooks while working ;-) ) I know there are other books out there that address some of these topics, but this book is very accessible to a wide audience, short and packed with wisdom, so I would highly recommend it to anyone.
