Freud gets sort of a bad rap because he said quite a few things that were pretty intelligent that are omitted, ignored, and apparently unknown by most "Freudians."

He also did not say many of the things that are taught as "core Freudian knowledge" - at least not in any of his seven books that I read as a teenager when I was immature enough to think "that stuff" was really important.

He was succinctly and accurately summed up by his daughter Anna, herself a quite capable therapist, when she actually did say "Daddy was a nut," althugh it's not compleltey clear whether she was referring to his work or to his "family life."

On the main topic of the thread, 5 things men should know about women adds nothing most should not already know; but does illustrate that mudcat isn't the only place talking about the trite and obvious.
