I read “Beyond Sex Roles” about 6 years ago. It was a VERY bewildering experience as much of it simply did not click with me, but he did make a few points that I could not answer from my worldview, and I kept storing those up. Eventually I had a paradigm shift which solved all the puzzles I had stored up. But notice I needed to be faithful to store up puzzles I did not understand and, even more importantly, to continue to study something that might challenge my current worldview.

Many people read authors they already agree with, at least for the most part. They are, in effect, simply confirming their already established worldview. I find it is very important to try to know the worldview of any author I am reading.

P.S. I did marry that woman. She has taught me a lot and continues to do so.
