Solid refutation. Loved that book.

>They don't understand the fundamental values that makes a man a man.

I agree though. I've only read The Professor's House, but I thought it was fantastic. It's been a while so I don't remember if the narration is first or third person, but anyway, the male characters were good I thought. She and Flannery O'Connor are the only female authors I've really enjoyed. I guess I should read
