- nozzlegear 5mo agoYeah, that's what I meant by it being outdated. He uses a lot of examples and aphorisms from the 1930s, which sometimes come off as a little bit quaint or folksy almost 100 years later. I'll also mention that the book was written for men "influencing" other men; any reference to women in the book is usually in the context of them being objects that should be managed using the author's techniques.
- nozzlegear 5mo agoI'm not sure why this would be downvoted. I hope that people consider treating women like objects to be outdated and problematic.
- Tangurena2 5mo agoThe backlash against the MeToo movement shows that that treatment is not as outdated/problematic as it should be.
