Download Tied Up in Knots: How Getting What They Wanted Has Made Women Miserable AudioBook Free
Fifty years after Betty Friedan launched The Feminine Mystique, relationships between men and women in America haven't been more dysfunctional. If women will be more liberated than previously, why aren't they more comfortable? In this stunning, funny, and bluntly honest travel of today's gender discontents, Andrea Tantaros, one of Fox Information' most popular and outspoken superstars, exposes the way the rightful feminist quest for equality went too much, and the way the unintended pitfalls of that electricity trade have made women (and men!) miserable. Inside a covetous quest to attain the electricity that men acquired, women were advised to work like men, converse like men, party like men, and also have intimacy like men. There's just one single problem: Women aren't men. Rather than feeling pleased with their newfound freedoms, females today are tied up in knots, aiming to punch a balance between their natural, womanly, and traditional wishes and what society dictates - and needs - through the commandments of feminism. Revealing the mass bafflement this has brought on among both sexes, Tantaros argues that ages of sociable and economic improvement haven't brought women the peace and contentedness these were advised they'd gain from their new opportunities. The pressure both to have it all also to put forth the flawlessly post-worthy, filtered life for sociable media and contemporary society at large has still left women feeling twisted. In the mean time, in their rightful search for equality, women have marketed themselves at the expense of their man counterparts, going out of both genders frayed and frustrated. On this candid and humorous romp through the American ethnical landscape, Tantaros reveals how gaining respect in the office - where women gained it - made them stop challenging it where they really required it: in their love lives. The impact of this electricity trade has been thought in every way, from intimacy to incomes, to dating and matrimony, to fertility and female friendships, to the personal details they share with each other. Because of this, we've lost the original virtues and worth that we all want, no matter our politics: intimacy, authenticity, kindness, respect, discretion, and most importantly, dedication. With scathing wit - and insights delivered of personal experience - Tantaros explores how women took guys off the hook in dating (much to their own detriment) and exposes how we've become a land averse to intimacy and preoccupied with porn, the one that has bought and sold kindness for control, intimacy for sexting, and monogamy for polygamy. Sorry romance. Sorry decency and manners. Long talks over calling have been supplanted by the "belfie". All of this reveals a culture that's devolving, not growing. And it's really only getting worse. Tied Up in Knots is a no-holds-barred gut check for the sexes and a wake-up require a contemporary society that has decayed - faster than anyone thought possible. It's time to remember what we all really want out of work, love, and life. Only then can we finally begin untying those knots.
