JOHN GRAY SUCKS

[loveslibraries]

John Gray sucks!  Venus, Mars...

[zeebo]

Last time I heard him on Coast I thought he sucked less than usual.  The reason being I thought it was good he made mention of how boys of this gen. are growing up with societal messages that there's something innately wrong with them. 

After decades of worrying about messages girls receive through the media, education, politics, etc. - there seems to be little concern for what boys are hearing as they mature in society.  It's a notion which I've not heard many have the boldness to suggest in our current cultural climate, and I do think it will have repercussions down the road - so I give him some props for that. 

That Mars/Venus thing though, jeez it just has to go.

I'll take Paul McCartney's Venus and Mars over John Gray's any day.

I'll take Paul McCartney's Venus and Mars over John Gray's any day.

And I'd prefer these two sci-fi anthologies too.

I agree.  Gender messages to boys have been bad.
