Wow ... now I'm so glad I didn't read this book. I'll confess to sometimes have trouble bonding with groups of women myself, but really! What appalling generalizations!
It sounds like she has some real issues with stereotyped sex roles: I should think she'd reject them, but instead, she seems to be buying into them big time. I wonder if her (subconscious?) decision to avoid privileged white men had something to do with an assumption on her part that they aren't very "masculine" by her own definitions?
