How to Talk to a Man

After reading "How to Talk to a Hunter" by Pam Houston I was somewhat upset by Houston generalizing all men as a predator. Yes, they are men out are exactly like the man in "How to Talk to a Hunter," but many are nothing like this man. I think Houston has had some troubling experiences with men and that is why she has made all men seem like a predator. I am pretty sure that not every man she has met fit the predator stereotype. Houston probably does not believe every male is a predator, but I am still not happy that she made every man out to be like this. I also did not like the fact that she wrote story telling us how it is going to happen. Not everyone has the same experiences as the next person and not everyone is going to have the same problems to deal with in their relationship. The story was fine, but I did not like her telling us every man is a predator and that every relationship has to play out like this.
