Sentiments expressed in the book are often crass and not veiled in political correctness tactfulness civility or etiquette. If youre easily offended or blush at the mere suggestion of an off-color thought or remark then this book is not for you. If youre quick to claim male-bashing or discrimination move on.

Heres a sample of Get Real statements sprinkled throughout the book: Ill just say that Im so relieved O-Syndrome has nothing to do with orgasm LOL! Because havent we women already suffered enough?!

Im like my grandmother who reached a point where she didnt give a damn. She spoke her mind to whomever. She had no hesitation about saying exactly what she felt and exactly what she thought. -- Kim a collabHERator Its not just about women realizing we have voices. Its about others shutting up long enough to recognize that women have voices! -- Jackie a collabHERator Women are judged and scrutinized for how we look. Were too sexy or not sexy enough. Were too pretty or not pretty enough. Were too fat or not thin enough. One day at work I overheard two men in our café talking about how overweight this woman was. A man can be bald fat and ugly and its a nonissue! -- Christie a collabHERator
