'Real Housewife' Melissa Gorga's New Book Advocates Marital Rape
Please stop watching reality shows.
Real Housewives of New Jersey star Melissa Gorga has written an advice book, Love Italian Style, for people who want a marriage as hot and happy as the one she has with her husband Joe. Her entire ethos on the subject boils down to this sentence: "Husbands want their wives to submit; wives want our husbands to dominate."
The amount of sexism, gender essentialism, and caveman logic within its pages is so appalling that it's difficult to believe that her book is anything but a cry for help.
It's very clear—from her anecdotes, observations, and tips—that she's married to a controlling asshole that barely views her as human, let alone an equal. He won't "allow" her to go on overnight trips without him, he has a say in the clothes she wears, didn't want her to get a job (even before she became a mother), and he has gotten violent when Melissa does things that he doesn't like.
Joe—Teresa Giudice's brother—seems to restrict any expression of individualism or independence on her part—including this book. He constantly interjects throughout with his own opinions on how women should behave. His are perhaps the most egregious passages in the book, particularly his thoughts on sex.
Men, I know you think your woman isn't the type who wants to be taken. But trust me, she is. Every girl wants to get her hair pulled once in a while. If your wife says "no," turn her around, and rip her clothes off. She wants to be dominated.
Women don't realize how easy men are. Just give us what we want.

That woman needs a psychiatrist and a good lawyer. She's fucked up and in a fucked up relationship, to boot.
It's all fake. Every last bit of it . . . except for how things used to go down when they went out to bars! 
So you can't take it seriously. You just can't. The most entertaining and REAL thing about this book are the comments at Jezebel!
Really - she has had THREE children and she expects people to believe that her husband has no clue that she EVER has bowel movements?
Don't know if it's back up - but try famewhorgas.net . . . A lot of background on how Melissa and Joe met - and the fact that Tre is the 'paid patsy'.
And I'm not ashamed to say I watch this. . . I was acquainted with a member of the original cast and got sucked in that way!
