Columnist Deborrah Cooper Slams Steve Harvey and Act Like a Lady Think Like a Man

. 05/15/2012 . 13 Comments

Dating expert and advice columnist Deborrah Cooper, host of The Date Smarter Not Harder Relationships Talk Show took a look at the popularity of comedian turned relationships guru Steve Harvey’s best-selling book Act Like a Lady – Think Like a Man. Shocked at the positive response of millions of women that went out and bought a guide to understanding men and bettering relationships written by a COMEDIAN (and a bad one at that), Ms. Cooper wanted to read the book and come to her own conclusions.

In essence, she says the book is “a useless disgusting piece of crap that should be thrown in the nearest garbage can. From the first sentence of the first chapter, the reader is set up to accept what follows as factual material on ALL men, with Steve Harvey (who was nothing but a thrice married joke teller the day before the book was released), as an expert in relationships and what women need to do to maintain one.”Act Like a Lady Think Like a Man book review by advice columnist and dating expert Deborrah Cooper

During this one hour broadcast, Deborrah breaks the book down and provides astute, on point chapter by chapter analysis, highlighting:

  • the double talking and use of a  lot of words that don’t really say anything
  • why men should not, as Harvey advocates, be treated as Kings or supported by women during their goal achievement phase
  • the manipulative words designed to guilt trip and blame women for men’s negative and irresponsible behavior
  • the sexist misogynist emotionally abusive language and concepts that threaten women with abandonment and anguish of a cheating man
  • why the unbelievable imbalance in giving and taking between men and women Harvey advocates as the norm in relationships sets women up for codependent emotionally damaging situations
  • the sleight of hand magician tricks that present a male’s closed off selfishness and narcissism as the only type of a ‘love’ a woman can rightly expect to get
  • the brainwashing that perpetuates the belief that anything a man says should be taken by women to be The Gospel
  • why women should ignore Harvey’s mandate that women provide loyalty, support and unconditional love no matter how poorly she is treated or talked to
  • how single black women are set up to be involved in poor relationships by men with a pimp mentality like Harvey due to their religious-based programming of ‘following men’ even if the men do not have their best interest at heart

The set up and the game begins with the title of the book and continues in Chapter One, as women are told they aren’t good enough, that something is wrong with them, and that women need to change to be more like men. Why must a woman deny and dismiss her gentle feminine energy to fight the games that men insist on playing? Then you men turn around and complain that black women are too ‘masculinized’ when you made them that way by lying, cheating, and demanding that women think like you do? WTF is that?
