No More Christian Nice Girl

I picked up this book on a whim and it occurred to me that it might be fun if a few of the FO's here would like to read through it together and do a bit of a book club thread on it. It's two dollars on Amazon for the kindle version: http://www.amazon.com/More-Christian-Nice-Girl-Nice--Instead-ebook/dp/B0055PLW4S/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1396961365&sr=1-1
I've read up through the second chapter, and it looks pretty good. Everything they're saying about frustration and guilt rings fairly true for me, but I specifically was hoping to discuss it with some of the FO's though because they also include a hefty dose of blue pill things like "pretty shaming." It's true that some women have this crazy unrealistic idea of beauty, but my experiences as a Nice Girl is that most nice girls don't actually know how to dress very well or be sexually attractive. Like I said, I'm only in the second chapter, but I was thinking that we might could have an interesting discussion on what it means to break the nice girl role without pretending that female alpha isn't also about looks and status and all those evil, evil things that only lead to eating disorders and heartbreak
@Liquid @Simplegirl @Serenity @Alphabelle @Katt @WhoeverelseImaybemissing - anyone in?

If you want us to be unapologetically feminine, be unapologetically masculine.
I went looking for my dreams outside of myself and discovered, it's not what the world holds for you, it's what you bring to it.

Tech dummy here - how would it work, not doing it on the forum?
The discussions on the book study may be useful to women not participating, and to new posters or lurkers. So it might be better to keep it on the forum. Provided, of course this is not a problem with Athol. Maybe we should check with him or a moderator first? What does everyone think?

I think it would best suited in the "Faith and Spirituality" category.

I'm thinking about it . . . I'm not sure I want to spend the money right now. (See, I buy amazon gift cards to buy stuff on amazon, because I don't do credit/debit cards and I have $5 left, and I'm hoping Purple publishes a cookbook soonish and I don't want to buy another $100 amazon gift card . . . it takes me like a year to use one entirely because I'm cheap. Okay, paranoid about money.)
If the consensus is that PMs would be preferred we can do that, but I was originally thinking that having something like this on the forum might be a help to the general public as it were.
Glad so many people want to participate! Maybe get started for real next Monday? That would give people time to track down a copy and start reading.There are end of chapter discussion questions we can use and of course just general commentary on the material itself.
