How to Be a Woman

OK, so, I'd been vaguely hearing good things about this book from the ~feminist blogosphere~ and I'd seen some really good quotes from it being thrown around the internet, so I thought I'd read this. And I think first of all that there is a culture gap & a generation gap going on here?

Some of the stuff Moran writes in here is really great (and you've probably already seen those bits turned into graphics on Tumblr). Some of it is just like, WTF? There's a whole chapter about how crazy women are because we instantly imagine marrying men as soon as we meet them, and men shouldn't be alarmed because we can't help it. Um... what? There are a lot of other instances where she seems to be taking her own personal hang-ups and assuming that all women started working as journalists when they were teenagers and get paid to review lap dances, etc.

This book is marketed as some kind of neo-feminist manifesto but it's really the memoir of one weird, successful, funny woman. Which is a fine thing for a book to be! I also am not sure if she even let an editor touch it because it seems very, very rambly.
