My Husband Made a Man Outta Me and I Resent It!

I Recommend This Book! - Book Club Review

Is it true that a woman looks for her father in the men she dates? I would say yes and it is explained more in My Husband Made a Man Outta Me & I Resent It! by M. Cecile Forte, Ph.D. The definition of a man-made woman is one that is influenced by the boyfriends, husband, and father figures that come in and out of her life.

My Husband Made a Man Outta Me & I Resent It is filled with different scenarios where the women became man-made according to their situation. This 10 chapter book provides instructions, gives advice, and opens the readers' eyes to true commitment. The powerful women displayed in this book will give readers the strength they need to become strong-willed women in any given situation as well as learning their worth.

Dr. M. Cecile Forte does a wonderful job of informing readers that a man-made woman comes from many different backgrounds. The man-made woman then evolves out of the negative or positive male figures that have been in her life and the choices she makes because of them. I appreciated this book because of its helpful information. This book was well researched and detailed, which gave me a better understanding of its meaning. I recommend this book to others.

What about when this woman has what she believes is her perfect complement, a man who let’s her decide most everything. This seems like a perfect match until she gets tired of her nontraditional role as head of household and begins to resent or even disrespect him. Meanwhile, he thought he was giving her what she wanted and needed – control and power.

Dr. M. Cecile Forte, author of “My Husband Made a Man Outta Me and I Resent it,” discusses strong woman-gentle man relationships and the true effects on both parties. Listen because you may learn something about your own lopsided relationship on AllWrite Radio - CLICK HERE.

30 second excerpt - "As a gentle man married to a strong woman, Dave is by no means weak. A gentle man has strength of character, he is patient, he's secure within himself and he doesn't hold grudges, even when the wrong done to him would justify it. (Dave) let go of Pop's behavior toward him and concentrated on seeing him through his golden years, and for his part Pop was truly grateful."

Happy Father's Day! Pop, I love you!

 

My father was a common laborer.  He went to work before we awoke to go to school, and he came home just before we had to go to bed at night.  He was a quiet man who didn't talk much and smiled only occasionally.  He worked what seemed like all the time.  He never told me that he loved me.  Not in those words.  Language wasn't broad enough to contain the love he felt for us. 

His rough hands that picked me up and twirled me around told me;

His loving glance at my Mother on Sunday morning during church service told me;

The shirt and tie that he wore every Sunday to family dinners because that's what a gentlemen wears told me; 

The home of our own he worked for night and day, washed cars and fixed bikes to pay for told me; 

The bar of candy or tub of ice cream he could ill afford for us kids every once in a while told me;

How he made family his only priority and saved nothing for himself told me;

How he wept with joy at his children's graduation and the birth of his first grandchild told me;

And when he said to him, "I love you" told me; But then, I knew it all along.

Many psychologists have put a lot of weight in the mother / daughter relationship as being a driving force in a woman's life.  However, the cycle of male influence begins with fathers and the type of relationship we as women have with them since he is the man by which subsequent men in our lives will be judged.  Despite the strong title, My Husband Made a Man Outta Me and I Resent It! is not an assasination or sharp-edged male bashing book.

This book is a true and loving account in tribute to my husband and my father.  Readers will enjoy My husband Made a Man Outta Me and I Resent It! for its humor, candor, and substantive information beyond issues of control and dominance.  Every copy is an investment in acceptance, respect, greater love and appreciation for the gentle men they love and who love them back.

The Pill Turns 50

 

The PILL turns 50 and it is BIG news!  So big that TIME magazine is doing a cover story on it this month and for the first time has published a longer piece on the subject as an e-book exclusively at Amazon’s Kindle Store.  TIME’s executive editor, who has done extensive research on the history of birth control, was featured on the TODAY show this week too.  Having lived through the introduction of the PILL during the unique, turbulent, and ever-changing times of my Boomer Generation, I am eager to join the celebration.  The Pill’s effect on us was astronomical.  In the age of pill box hats, Camelot and the Kennedys, it was more than just a revolution in birth control; the PILL gave women control over their reproductive system.  

 

Despite its impact on the lives of millions of women across the globe, a woman seeking to empower women didn’t create it.  Although choice has been the basis for most, if not all of our freedoms in this country, that result was an unexpected occurrence.  In fact the reproductive research leading to the Pill was conducted by male scientists and physicians.  In the article it states that the Pill was actually created to help married women get pregnant.  However, the Pill’s ability to temporarily stop ovulation simply morphed into our power to control pregnancy. 

 

We became the masters of our own bodies, who didn't have to follow the dictates of men or religion about when and if we wanted children and how many children we wanted. The Pill empowered us to rush down the hall of graduate schools instead of rushing down the aisle to get married for fear of being an ‘old maid.’  Moreover this little pill planted the seeds of the Women's Movement.  We began to think about breaking barriers in government, business, education and politics. 

 

In essence the Pill helped us become what I refer to as the “man-made woman.” Many man-made women were coming of age when the pill was introduced, Hillary Clinton, Gloria Steinham, Diane Sawyer and Maxine Waters just to name a few.  The men who created the Pill directly contributed to the drive and career success found in these women and more. 

 

In my new book My Husband Made a Man Outta Me and I Resent It! I write, “The Pill changed everything.  Not only did it free women to choose to be pregnant, but it also prepared the way for women to seek other freedoms as well.  The ability to plan a family led to opportunities to work outside the home, to pursue a career, and to be more proactive than reactive in their lives.”  Today, half of all the workers in the United States are women.
