A new dating book, How to Choose a Husband, caused controversy before it even hit shelves. In it, author Suzanne Venker advises young women that if they want to snag a man, all they have to do is “be nice, cook and have sex.” Venker’s old-fashioned attitudes about gender roles and relationships fly in the face of feminism- in fact, she blames the “man-hating” women’s liberation movement for encouraging women to be independent and keeping them from locking down a husband. Instead, the author says that wannabe wives should sacrifice their hopes and dreams to become submissive domestic goddesses. We think these rules were made to be broken.
