News Women = nastiest-looking, most rotten, smelliest fruit or meat?

Ick. What a way to ruin a perfectly good day. Another condescending asshole wrote a "book" -- The Re-Education of the Female by Dante Moore -- on how to belittle and bully women into dating selfish, misogynistic men who believe they possess the Golden Dick. (Sounds like a keeper, doesn't he?) The book carries the title "Zane Presents" -- disheartening, at first glance, to think that the author of female-driven erotica could promote such drivel. But Zane states she doesn't endorse the "teachings" of The Re-Education of the Female. Her goal was to put forth a warning: "There are some men who feel exactly like he does. I feel like women should be forewarned and realize what's out there."
Feministing breaks it down for you:
Today the Washington Post covers a new book with the earth-shattering thesis that, if women want to "keep a man" they should start scrubbing floors in lingerie, learning to cook steaks to order, and giving blowjobs in between.
Is that cover condescending or what? And that's not even getting into the content of the book...
Moore's slim treatise purports to explain how women should go about sex, relationships and marriage -- according to men. Here is his mission as a self-described reeducator: "I want to express my anger and frustration as a man with the women I feel are miseducated, misinformed, and ill-prepared about their responsibilities in getting and maintaining a relationship with a man of quality," he writes in the introduction.Moore, of course, considers himself just such a man. Read his book, ladies, and you can snag a catch just like him. Your responsibilities include cooking, staying skinny, wearing sexy things around the house and doing whatever your man tells you to do (because, Moore writes, "Here's a little secret, ladies: men never really ask for anything. They command. . . . And believe me, what you won't do, ten broads around the corner will.")
Ugh. The sad part is, he's found this method successful:
Moore's girlfriend, Khanequa Tuitt, who's at the book-signing, recalls that when she first read his manuscript, she only got past the first couple of pages before calling him to curse him out. But now she's come to terms with his views. She's started "trying to stay away from wearing frumpy, flannel stuff," even when she's cleaning, for example.
Moore also keeps it classy with a "no fatties" message:
In his book, size matters -- a lot: "The fatter you get, the more you decrease your potential single-man pool. Let me give you an example. When you go to the grocery store to shop, do you pick out the nastiest-looking, most rotten, smelliest fruit or meat you can find? Oh, you don't? Why not? . . . It's the same with men when they see baby elephant-sized, out-of-shape women."
Speaking of...
