Listen Up, Females. This Man Is Talking.

"Why do you think that is?" Moore asks.

She thinks a long time before answering, and Moore nods as she talks. Something about how she thought she could change him, but he just wouldn't change. Aha! If she had read "The Re-Education of the Female," she could've benefited from a chapter titled "You Knew He Was a Bum When You Met Him."

A 14-year-old girl notices the display and pulls on her mother's hand; a few minutes later, she is bounding out of the store, clutching a copy of the book. "When you finish reading that, I want to read it next," her mother says to her as they walk away.

Maybe feminism is dead. Or maybe women are just humoring Moore (and men everywhere), reading his book and others for a good laugh.

If we're to believe the author: Women have been throwing themselves at him since the book's release. "Those dudes that think their woman just comes out to get a book signed are probably in for a rude awakening," he confides. "As I'm hugging them they're whispering right in my ear, so I'm loving it."

What do they whisper? "Stuff like, 'Can you write your number down?' or 'Where you gonna be after this?' " he says. "I mean, I would prefer something more sexual, but hey, that'll do."

And so it is that in this messed-up world where relationships between men and women are plagued by misunderstandings, we are all to take lessons from a man who says his best decision as a teenager was to stop treating women well.
