Some times there are books people are very enthusiastic about and when you read it yourself it is disappointing. The book “Over seks en liefde” (About sex and love), written by Saskia Noort en Jan Heemskerk, belongs for me to that category.
Maybe it is because I really enjoyed the book “Delusions of Genders” that I don’t really liked this book.
Sure, I had to grin at times when reading the book, but many times more I had to frown. Man and woman are displayed so stereotypic, with all the prejudices you can hear every day. Also I didn’t like the generalisations in the book. Man and women are displayed as dumb, not functioning creatures… of course in the view of the opposite gender.
Maybe I am taking this book to serious…. maybe that is it. I will Marion and Sanne to read it also. Curious what they think about it.
