Has anyone read the book "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus"?

If so, what did you think of it? I started reading it yesterday and it started off perfectly fine and balanced. But as I got further in, it’s really starting to come off as super sexist. I’m getting this whole vibe that women are supposed to be the stereotypical “omg i love to shop and talk with my girlfriends” and to make men happy they just need to be submissive to them and try their best to just not say anything to piss them off. We aren’t supposed to ever criticize anything they ever do and just let them handle it.

Here’s a quote:

If he behaves in a way that embarrasses you, wait for a time when no one else is around and then share your feelings. Donʹt ten him how he “should behaveʺ or that he is wrong; instead share honest feelings in a loving and brief way. You could say “The other night at the party, I didn’t like it when you were so loud. When I’m around, would you try to keep it down?ʺ If he gets upset and doesn’ʹt like this comment, then simply apologize for being critical.

I understand the part about not critiquing him in front of people because that’s embarrassing, but not only is it ridiculous to expect me to let my bf/husband be a slob and not pull him to the side to mention it, but we seriously are supposed to apologize if we say something about it?

Maybe I’m just taking this book the wrong way though….
