[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I dunno, after becoming a mom and learning more about economics in Regency England, I am much more sympathetic to Mrs. Bennett. Mr. Bennett didn't accuse his kid of coughing to spite him, but he did mismanage money and was constantly rude to his wife even though she was just trying to clean up his mess. And it's not like Mrs. Bennett was the only one obsessed with money, she just wasn't discreet about it like she was supposed to be.

As for this woman you criticize. I cannot stand it when somebody is rude to their spouse, in public or not. [b]But I will say that it is just sexist to criticize somebody for liking chick lit and fashion. We love to tear down shit that appeals to women (except, apparently, for Jane Austen, the creator of the Romance genre) and we think an obsession with finance (as opposed to money???) is a good trait.

So just, I don't know, I can see where you're coming from but I think you're still coming from a sexist perspective.[/b] [/quote]

Agree with this. Why is "chick lit" inferior to books about finance?
