Do Men Really Love Bitches? (My Teardown of the NY Times Bestseller)

Sherry Argov’s book Why Men Love Bitches has sold millions of copies since its debut and has tons of reviews, most of them positive. It even had a resurgence in interest recently, so I thought I’d read through it for myself. In this episode, I break down the introduction and first chapter and the author’s four attraction principles. As you listen, you’ll discover why I feel the way I do about Argov’s work regardless of the nuggets of truth within her book. 1:53 - Why I wanted to start this potential podcast series 6:37 - Something weird about the book’s author  12:06 - Some of my initial reactions while reading through the book 15:45 - How I feel about Argov’s description and use of the word “bitch” 17:58 - Why I’ve started backing off of using the terms “feminine” and masculine”  23:06 - The main message from the men interviewed for the book 26:17 - An example of how the author muddles her message 29:25 - Why I find the first chapter of the book objectifying and trope-y 36:22 - Attraction principle #2 and why it isn’t conducive to an equal partnership 40:14 - The #1 thing men said they needed from a woman and my perspective on it 42:13 - A bitch’s availability and the weird inclusion in section three of chapter one 47:22 - My feelings on the difference between the two types of bitches (according to Argov) 51:54 - The absurdity of attraction principle #4 and “Samantha’s” story 57:16 - Why I think this book has had a recent resurgence of interest  I hope you enjoyed this episode!
