Petruccio is a dick, Katherine is a bitch, and in the end they team up via mutual respect, and manipulate the court into believing Petruccio is the man, and all the other wives are bitches(which they are in the end). Katherine ends up being the only honest girl in the bunch, the only one who is witty enough to butt heads with a man, and it ends with them happily going off to consummate their marriage.

It’s not a totally masogynistic play, afterall Kate is clever, but has to let her gaurd down. Intelligent and pretty girls often feel they have something to prove… I’m guilty as charged by the way. Not to sound cocky, but if there is anything I’ve learned from my male friends, it’s you can’t kick ass without being confident.

So excuse my early a.m. rant, love the site, it’s hysterical. At first I was a little frustrated, but then I realized I am a reformed stupid girl. My first few years in college consisted of binging on sex and drugs and attention; then I realized I left my previous school with only close MALE friends, and a new found disrespect for my fellow women.

I’m somewhat sad to say, even as a woman, I agree with most of what you write. Hopefully I’m more evolved than most.

By the way, I love that you keep your cool when women grow infantile and fling insults at you. Bravo! I respect you, because beneath the humor there is a lot of truth and intelligent perspective. I even researched you and read somewhere you studied engineering. It must be hysterical with your mind, dealing with the crying fits from a bunch of unread housewives.

By the way, a little self promo never hurts. I do some alt-fetish, until I finish my degree(s) and am in the process of writing a drug, sex and sarcasm filled novel. Might as well make some money off of my pathetic exploits. Check me out at myspace.com/vermilioncrush

…and please forgive any spelling or grammatical errors, it’s late/early and I smoked and tripped away most of my brain in 2006.

How is this for cliche hippie… Peace

ha this website is very funny, while i dont agree with most of i wanted to comment on this. My sister reads more than anyone i know, and she is one of the smartest people i know. I cant help but wonder “Did you have problems with your mother?”

Yeah – but the people you know are pimple-faced morons.

One thing to note about those numbers is that while Classmates had one of the lowest positive growth rates at 10%, they spend loads on advertising while MySpace, Youtube, and Facebook haven’t spent a penny.

If I recall correctly, a couple years ago Classmates.com was one of the 10 largest spenders on online advertising.

There are plenty of new social networking sites poping up but what get’s me why can’t myspace there instant messenger working. $580 mill and can’t afford to fix instant messenger BAD myspace.
There are so many better ones how about http://cubiclelife.net for example has all the features of myspace plus quizzes, polls, webchat with audio and video oh and hey they have instant messenger. You have a long way to go myspace.

Honestly, you have to read the book to appreciate it. Please dont go by amazon’s Synopsis.

I offer this link for those men who (like myself) have been victimized by women. Such as I live in $450-a-month hovels while our ex-wives continue to consume our resources to maintain their extravagant lifestyles — and consequently rarely even have the few meager funds necessary to purchase books.

The comment about her name being “Orpha” is dead wrong. Her mother named her “Orpha” (after biblical “ORPHA”) but the stiupid nurse wrote O-P-R-A-H.
Whatever her mother intended has nothing to do with the fact her legal name is O-P-R-A-H.

I am usually not one for reading reading books, I never have been but, this particular book I just couldnt put down.
It confirmed what I had been thinking all along.
I was consciously aware of what was going on but tried to dismiss how i was thinking because no other men that I knew were thinking the same. I thought to some extent ‘it must be me’.
This book confirmed all my thoughts and experiences.
It’s amazing how so many men on the planet have been conditioned into automatically subjecting themselves to a life of slavery completely unaware.

The author goes into great detail about why and how WOEman does the things she does in any given situation and the ways in which she will go about doing it, I saw this book as a kind of logic decipherable handbook if you like, from WOEman’s logic to MAN’s logic and vice versa.

Its so invaluable in my opinion it should be part of a schools curriculum.

My only beef (from the selection I read on Google books)–she seems to imply that women are clever enough to create this MANipulating environment intentionally, and we all know that that’s not the case. It is truly a sad fact of nature and proof that God is a humorist that women are able to accomplish the things they can, like a penguin that can do trigonometry or a bobcat that can whistle.

As long as we’re offering our own proposals for the book club, I would like to submit an obscure medieval Spanish text for the really adventurous scholars out there–”El Libro de Buen Amor.” If you can find the Magoun translation (and any university library should have it) AND if you can make it through the odd organization, it is a hilarious semi-autobiographical series of stories detailing a priest’s womanizing life, as well as an instruction manual on how to get women to sleep with you (hint: they like to be smacked around just enough to know that you mean business). Moral of the story–men have been putting up with the same shit all across the world for a long time.

The Manipulated Man By Esther Vilar.
ISBN-10: 0953096424
ISBN-13: 978-0953096428

A little nugget of truth there, and just further proof of what a truly brilliant man that Shakespeare was.

Good stuff!

*hits you all with cartoon hammer*

Anyway, if more women were like her, the world would soon change for the better.
