getting schooled

Quick...read the following passage and try not to gag:

"The fatter you get, the more you decrease your potential single-man pool. Let me give you an example. When you go to the grocery store to shop, do you pick out the nastiest-looking, most rotten, smelliest fruit or meat you can find? Oh, you don't? Why not? . . . It's the same with men when they see baby elephant-sized, out-of-shape women."

It comes from "The Re-Education of the Female," a new book by first-time author Dante Moore. The book is attraction a lot of attention/heat thanks to this article from the Washington Post. The reporter's impression of Moore's outlook?

Read his book, ladies, and you can snag a catch just like him. Your responsibilities include cooking, staying skinny, wearing sexy things around the house and doing whatever your man tells you to do (because, Moore writes, "Here's a little secret, ladies: men never really ask for anything. They command. . . . And believe me, what you won't do, ten broads around the corner will.")

OK, I'm trying to keep an open mind here. If my year of covering books for the L-E has taught me anything, it's that reviewers don't always tell the whole story. Still, in this case, it seems like the evidence against Moore is pretty damning.

In short, it seems like he takes on a straight-up approach and tells women that basically every male stereotype is true.

How much of books like this do you think is genuine advice as opposed to pure shock value?
