I searched high and low for a user's guide to bestow to the befuddled male at Christmas or on a birthday, but having never found what I was looking for I decided to write it myself. My relationships with men encompass the usual diversity - father, brother, friends, boyfriends, two husbands (sequentially, not concurrent) and a son - all good men (well, no, two of them were assholes), intelligent and well-intentioned, but all at one time or another uncomprehending, delusional, or bizarrely misinformed. As I put pen to paper, and began the task of displaying and interpreting all those female peculiarities, I marvelled at what complex creatures we women are. Men seem relatively straightforward by comparison (that impression I grant you, could arise from a position of complete ignorance, but as a woman I'm bound to regard that interpretation as highly unlikely). I also felt a surge of sympathy as I disentangled femininity and came to the ineluctable conclusion that women are bonkers (but, we're also gorgeous and wonderful and will immeasurably enrich your lives).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eI am a wife and mother, daughter and sister, friend and colleague, and trainer of the dog.
