Looks like another tale of a woman (adultress no less) divorcing her husband and embarking on a quest to find her own truth. The kicker is I only knew she was an adultress from the headline on HuffPost Women (top headline as I write). In looking at the reviews on Amazon, the author is described as having a destroyed marriage, divorced her husband, or just divorced, it doesn't use such a blatant and non PC term like "adultress". The Amazon reviews make it out like she was a poor, poor thing trapped in marriage until she sought out her own truth.
"....The morals discussed in the
book where rather disappointing to say the least and upsetting as it
was unexpected. I was not anticipating the author's gross discriptions
of wanting to have sex with her dying mother's male nurse and what she
imagined his penis would feel like. That does not cover the rest of her
affairs, her pot smoking, heroin use, or hitchhiking. If that is what
you are looking for, it is a great story but I found it increadibly
disappointing. Not recommended for anyone younger than adult due to
disturbing content."
The song,"Honey Bee" by Blake Shelton had some lyrics that jumped out at me the other day:
"If you'll be my soft and sweet I'll be your strong and steady You'll be my glass of wine I'll be your shot of whiskey You'll be my sunny day I'll be your shade tree You'll be my honeysuckle I'll be your honey bee"
I like how it implies that a woman must be soft and sweet in order for a man to be her strong and steady. It does not work they other way. Women are soft, pleasant, and dare I say submissive, and in return men are protectors, providers, a rock. Nowadays men are expected to be strong and steady (where are all the good men?) without women holding up and maintaining their end of the bargain. Roles complement and intertwine.
