>Ugh, that’s gross. Out of curiosity, I wonder what needed to be changed to the original book make this applicable for “teen girls” only. My grandma bought my sister “Ten stupid things women do to ruin their life.” for Xmas when she was 15, but that was decades ago. I’m sorry that grandmas are still pulling this shit.
>If it makes you feel any better, the original is very sexist/racist
>There's layers to the passive aggression there. Your grandma sucks.
>Read the original, it's capitalist propaganda.
>At best maybe she respects your identity but thought the lessons in the book where applicable even if she couldn't get her hands on a gender neutral copy. At worst frick you Grandma.
>Ah. A classic case of I love my idea of you, not you. That frickings sucks. You deserve better
>Why the heck does this need to be gendered? So ridiculous.
>Yikes, aside from the intentional misgendering, I would be so offended if I was gifted this book lmao.
>Just put her in a home

This actually does seem pointlessly gendered lol. This foid just took her dads book and made a “for teen girls” version that simultaneously leeches of her dads name while also trying to make it seem like she created something herself

She's probably grifting but the optimal strategy for being socially succesful is different for men and women. Women can pull off nice things that will seem creepy when males do them, and stuff that makes women seem bitchy can make men seem dependable and strong.
Also, teenage girls can benefit from emphasis on different things that are known to be their weak points.

I can see the need to refresh something that was made for mid century corporate drones. And good luck trying to peddle anything original in current year (((publishing))), they are as bad as (((Hollywood))) when it comes to endlessly pushing stale franchises.
