He wrote the book, "The Re-Education of the Female." Amongst other things, my main beef with him was how he firmly stands by his belief that a woman must be a size 10 or smaller for her man or if she's single her pool of single men will go way down. I mean I get that attraction is a big deal, but seriously? A number? I'm surprised he didn't break it down into height too, "You must be a size 10 or smaller if you're 5'8", but you've gotta be a 6 or smaller if you're 4'11".
If you could only see his full body shot, he's not in strapping shape himself, yet when that came up, he said it's about getting your man, not the other way around, "Adam came first in the Garden of Eden, then women, so wait your turn!"
Then the host asked (bringing up his point on how a woman better cook and clean for her man), "Was Eve cleaning the Garden too?" He said, "Probably, she shoulda been!" 
I don't even know what to ask on this, I was just so stunned that I showed Josh a clip of it, he was probably even more shocked at the cleaning out the Garden of Eden comment. What a whacko. Is it mean to hope he stays single forever?
Q: Can you believe this guy? What does he want to re-educate us on?
Q: Why are women so forgiving of mens appearances, esp when we're the ones who need that part of attraction flipped since we have babies and a positively more difficult time losing weight?

YIKES! I don't even know what to write about this guy. Although his book sounds like Jerry Springer fodder to me. Hope some woman knocks some sense into him...
I think some guys do have this mentality and yes it is wrong rude and obnoxious (these are the guys that hoot, cat call and honk when you are walking down the street)- but i also think some women let this happen - they respond, react and worse of all do what the guy wants to "get her man" in his words. I think it is a vicious cycle - if women didn't let men get away with saying these things than they wouldn't have it - but that would have to start with women's self esteem and recognition of self worth.
Afton, you make me laugh. I totally miss you!!! I can't believe we've both had two kids since we saw each other last. That's just wrong ... almost as wrong as that loser Dante.
You know, good point Vicki. I think you're right with some women just allowing this. I've had plenty of conversations with Josh about women acting a certain way and just encouraging sloppy or shovenistic or ______ men.
Ex's: girls who hang out so much with guys they don't get asked out (no surprise there). Letting your significant other do whatever they want whenever without ever speaking up about the things they'd really like to do--the guys are the ones who bug me initially and then I realize that what incentive do they have to change when the woman enables and silently approves?
Or the girls in high school who flirted non-stop with the guys to get any attention, even if it was crude or sleezy.
Also why I assume girls work at feast-your-eyes venues and restuarants--I have friends who have worked at Hooters and as strippers and they're really nice girls, so all I can figure is they like the attention, in any form. Any other ideas?
I think you said it best Autumn! No it was the lady asking the author sarcastically if Eve was also cleaning out the Garden so when he responded with a yes, she was really ticked. True, I think they miss good qs sometimes, but I do like it when they get fiesty:).
