Detailed plot synopsis reviews of See Me |
---|
Professional women are attracted to violent, lower class men with mental problems. Professional women can be attracted to lower class men who haven't even graduated college. Even ones who have been in jail. Even ones with mental problems and anger issues, and bruises all over faces. I didn't say I believed any of this; I'm just saying this was a big theme of this book.
Women can be seduced by talking about feelings. Colin wins Maria over by talking about his feelings. His feelings of vulnerability, insecurity, growing up as a child, etc. Maria ate all this up. I think because all this feelings-talk made Maria feel like she was talking to another girl and put her at ease.

It's easy to cash in on sexual harassment claims. This book makes it clear how easy it is to get rich with false sexual harassment claims. Maria's boss never demanded she sleep with him for advancement; he simply invited her out to lunch to talk about her career and touched her collarbone for half a second. For that "crime" he had pay her a five month bonus just to shut her up. Some women use sexual harassment laws like a club to extort money from their bosses, trivializing the real cases of sexual harassment which occur in the workplace.
