Editing the section of my Preview that concerns MissLed women and the Seven Deadly Sins:
"...Now that their liberation has allowed them entry in the great sweepstakes
of the world's prize, I wonder if they (women) won't fall victim to all the other
realms of envy - small and large, realistic and goofy - to which men have been
prey. If they do - and I suspect they will - then one can only welcome them to
the carnival with its carousel of desires that never seem to relent,
desires that stir competitive feelings, fantastical hopes, infuriating disappointments.
Welcome, ladies, to the world of the envious." http://www.amazon.com/Envy-Deadly-Library-Lectures-Humanities/dp/0195158121/ref=sr_1_11?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1305087521&sr=1-11
One of the prime motivators for writing MissLed was my observations of women openly
envying and coveting, and the implications (across the board) of this becoming normalized
has for our society. If men are greedy and envious, and many women are as well, who will
then be left to remind us of the better angels of our nature?
