Book Reviews of Buddha Mom
Book Review: Feminists give it another whacking
Summary: 1 Stars
My wife and I are reading this book as part of our preparation for parenthood.
This book is EXCLUSIVELY written from a feminist point of view, at page 50 her husband is almost incidental to the entire process of pregnancy. So if you are male, don't expect either too much practical input for you or being able to read this book without feeling queasy. There are enough references to other belief systems to make even the Buddhist connection tenuous in the extreme. Her website is even worse.
The positive from all this is that we have decided to write our own book on pregnancy and parenting from a Buddhist perspective and we are not going to be including any references to Isis or Hestia. We will be presenting teachings directly from the Pali Canon.
I will finish reading this book, but it simply shows me the need for something that is both more rational and significantly less feminist/New Age in orientation.
But then another use for this book will be as toilet paper.
