Wooden performances marred the content
It probably sounds intolerant; but I could not get past the reading style of the two readers to properly reach the content. The performances were so wooden that I regretted buying the Audible version and wished I had simply had the Kindle version read back by Alexa. Perhaps I’ll do this and review again.

Decent content
decent content with fairly dry narrators make this a piece-meal listen. Articles 3 and 10 are pretty much useless in my opinion. Chapter 3 is nothing more than saying women are all sheepish and bullied by men in every situation and they have no voice in the if a man is present. Chapter 10 simply states the obvious about how to have a tough conversation : be clear, neutral, armed with the facts, and maintain a dialogue.
