    This kind of sexist discrimination of men can only happen in America.

    To the woman He said:
    ???I will greatly multiply your sorrow and your conception;
    In pain you shall bring forth children;
    Your desire shall be for your husband,
    And he shall rule over you.???
    Genesis 3:16
    No offense to Ms. Sutherland. She wrote her book and God wrote His book. I choose to defer to the smarter of the two authors.

    Any woman debased enough to treat her husband like an animal deserves to waste her money on this book. I look forward to seeing it on the $4.99 markdown table at Barnes & Noble.

    how is this not sexist and belittling of men to compare them to animals like that. Had a man written a book about training his wife with the same psychological techniques used and shammu the whale, he would have been viscously attacked by every nutball feminist in the world. WHile I agree techniques like this can be used, I am just sick of the "superior woman" having to train her dum drolling slob.

    Yes, you women just treat us more like pets, because the real slave in a relationship like that is the owner.

    You women are so easily manipulated anyway, we don't even consider it work ha

    I really can't improve on what you three have already said so I wont try. I feel that the world and society has just hit a new low. How dare she treat anyone as an animal and how dare she write a book to educate others on how to do the same. Who ever published this load of old drivel, should have their company boycotted.

    Amy Sutherland also used her system of positive re-enforcement to deter her husband from eating the contents of the bathroom garbage bin, but if his aggressive behaviour towards other males continues, she is considering having him neutered.

    I think it is just the title that is turning people off. Marriage should never be compared to animal training. Marrige is sacred, and to be blessed enough to share a life with someone you love is priceless - animals do not even have souls. However, it seems as though the adive is good... "praise your husband, avoid negative comments/nagging...." What's wrong with that?

    Just is about unreal as it gets! If I wanted an animal or a pet I would go out and adopt or buy one. I wanted and husband and I was 'gifted' ONE by the universe and God, because I we respected each other and treat each other with love and humand understanding. We did not set out to 'train' each other. This is such a sad shame that people even think this way!

    I am completely offended but since we are under the guise of free speech I will let it pass. I would just like to say that I wish I could treat the woman who wrote this book like the animal that SHE is: a bit ch. I've got a treat for her if she plays dead.

    As a husband, I found this writing a bit amusing and presumptuous that women are the perfect animals in the world. I have come across so many women who think no end of themselves, their ego going through the roof; smart, intelligent, on the top of the world, ordering their full-time working husbands around to do laundry and fill up gas, watch children and get groceries while these women work part-time off and on. They cannot do a single thing around their home but are busy manicuring and pedicuring and facial massage and so on. They cooking is so bad, you have to run up to a nearby restaurant to get the meal at the last minute.

    Of course these husbands need training in how to throw these wives out!

    Holy Smokes! I can't believe how angry this has gotten some people! All this is about is using positive reinforcement rather than nagging and whining...and last I checked, my husband prefers I thank him or show appreciation for things he does that make me happy rather than whine and nag everytime he doesn't do it. And isn't it VERY INTERESTING how rude and how many threats of domestic violence pop up from this article. Put salsa at the end of the counter so I don't bug you while you are cooking MY dinner and I'll put my boot in your ass...oh lord. Now THAT truly IS an animal. Thank god my own husband is a bigger man than that.

    I will never get married now if this is what women actually think. I'm not a dog to be "trained". But that's what they all say, what if some guy came out with a book on how to "train" your wife to be your little plaything. Hmm, I could guess the self-righteous indignation.

    • Posted By: harrisonm43 @ 02/17/2008 10:22:42 PM

      Sir, this is exactly what so many women think. In today's world, there is absolutely no reason for a man to get married. Steer clear and be one of the happy ones.

    I want to know who made women "God"? Women treat their husbands & significant other like they are children and want to tell their husbands what they should and shouldn't do. I've been married 17 blissful years and we were together 4 years prior to our marriage. My husband & I never argue. If a man wants to do something, he has to get his wife's permission first. Do you know how many husbands hate going home because they know they're going to be nagged about what they didn't do or what the wife wants them to do? Plenty. I've heard women at work say, "I left my husband a list of things to do before I went to work and he'd better have it done by the time I get home." He's not your child...what's up with that? Why do women want to play "Mommy" to their husbands? If your husband leaves his socks on the floor instead of putting them in the laundry basket, either put them in the basket yourself or leave them on the floor. Women seem to think they're the "boss" of their husbands. It makes me sick. I feel sorry for most husbands these days. No wonder so many marriages fail. How would you like it if the shoe was on the other foot? How would you women like it if your husbands were bossing you around like you do them? Hard to believe I'm a happily married woman, but I know that men deserve to do what they want to do when they want to do it and not be "trained" like some stupid animal.

    WOW, If I wrote a book on that advocated training women like animals I'd have the National Organization for Woman picketing me. You can't say anything wrong of women but men are the constant buffoons. Watch any sitcom. and dont think she really advocates this for both genders.

  • Posted By: PhDZoe @ 02/17/2008 10:22:22 PM

    OOOOOOR.... you can say, "Hey hun, could ya help me out with the laundry and pick it up? Thanks babe!" It's this new modern thing called COMMUNICATION... guess what it works on humans! You should look into it. Take it home, chew it its good!
