There is some good information in Fascinating Womanhood. Perhaps I didn't like the way some of my friends interpreted it and put it into practice. It seems to lead, ultimately, to scheming and dishonest interaction, where every sweet nature is employed as a means to a selfish end.
For the record, we are to do unto others as we would have them do unto us...that is, treat others as nicely as we would like to be treated. We are not, however, supposed to be nice to others for the purpose of getting them to be nice to us in return.
