I will admit blogging about a book for a Biblical ethics class was more difficult than I realized, especially when it seems like I keep repeating myself about the book. But honestly there is only a couple things from the book that applied to the course, sexuality, the role of women and gender roles, as well as general ethical morals. As diificult it was to write blog about this book, the book itself, although a bit shocking and vulgar, it was a good read.
I still don't understand why there is such a person out here. Half of me wants to think that this guy just made it up as like a funny joke. The other half of me thinks that this is all true and this guy is either an idol among men and either a celebrity or a jerk among women. The stories didn't stop at the end of the book. There was also an appendix.
The first appendix is on Tucker Max's scale of women. Now I know that girls will rank guys in hotness, it is no surprising that guys do to. One guy friend had a scale on how many drinks it took for a girl to be attractive. So it doesn't surprise me that Tucker Max has a scale of attractiveness for women. However, reading the scale and the requirements to be ranked, I know that I would not want to be subjected to such requirements. One ranking says that specific ranking is the lowest of the low. Why would women want to know that there is a ranking system like that. I just don't understand, maybe I'm coming from a different world than Tucker Max (which I probably am,) but I do not think that any woman would want to be ranked.
Like we discussed on discussion board about how there are good things and then after the Fall, there has been a perversion of the good things. The Tucker Max ranking scale seems to be a perversion of beauty to the eye of the beholder. It only makes sense. There is a beauty in every human being because of the way they are made. The very complexity of DNA gives me proof that every human is made so specifically that there is a beauty there.
The second appendix is The Tucker Max Drunk Scale. Being in college, there are parties and there are drunk people at parties, but I've never seen or read anything like this before. He describes the different levels of drunkenness that he and his friends made up. It just blows my mind that this is considered to be okay for some people.
All together, this was a good book because it showed me a true perversion of all things good and how unethical that lifestyle. You think it's all fun and games, but then looking closely at the hedonistic lifestyle, there is little fulfillment in that life.
