That's fine -- I like babies, I have one myself, I guess I will bring it to the playdate -- but I was rather looking forward to miniskirts and martinis.ihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14105686105741162480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7146512.post-39206333258476110222012-12-11T23:04:09.284-05:002012-12-11T23:04:09.284-05:00After careful review of the literature, television...After careful review of the literature, television, magazines, and cultural references of all sorts, I believe the universally accepted gift that every guy Has To Have is a threesome.<br /><br />Beyond that, it does seem to get kind of murky.David Schraubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04946653376744012423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7146512.post-8196525924387788092012-12-11T17:23:47.167-05:002012-12-11T17:23:47.167-05:00CW,

A book is generally a good idea for a man or a woman, if you have a sense that, and what, someone likes to read. <br /><br />But I didn't see these guides as making any kind of progressive point. It seemed more that these were fashion blogs aimed at women, but that opted to half-acknowledge that at this time of year especially, women buy gifts for men. So these are woman-who-likes-fashion gifts, but in a different font or some such.Phoebe Maltz Bovyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17996039330841139883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7146512.post-36598662809446079502012-12-11T17:20:22.951-05:002012-12-11T17:20:22.951-05:00I don't want any of the stuff in either guide,...I don't want any of the stuff in either guide, and I agree that the authors seem more interested in making a political / cultural point about the acceptability of men liking things that are traditionally feminine than in giving practical suggestions regarding that will work for a large proportion of men. Nonetheless, I happy to see a guide that wasn't all about golf, barbeque, and football. You don't have to be gay, feminine, or metrosexual to fall outside the scope of most gift guides for men. <br /><br />I will probably get my dad a good book.
