Summary
The first installment in the "Low Pressure Book Club Series" is a review of 'Why Does He Do That?' by Lundy Bancroft. Packed with helpful lists of warning signs, debunked excuses, and key signs of abuse, this book was written to provide insight into the minds of men who don't respect their partners. Throughout, I work to explain unacceptable behaviors by comparing them to similar ones displayed by men on Bravo. The author relies on his 30+ years of counseling men to identify contributing factors and presents a path to change that relies solely on the angry man reaching a point where that anger no longer serves him.
Unfortunately, this review begins by discussing recently shared allegations by several women that say Lundy weaponized that same extensive counseling experience to prey upon their vulnerabilities. As a result, a book that presents a thesis that abusers are made, not born, now serves as a helpful guide in more ways than its author intended.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the high and low podcast. |
| 0:08.2 | This is your host, Bravo, Bravo, Ducking Bravo. |
| 0:10.3 | And today, we are finally going to recap the book. |
| 0:13.8 | Why does he do that? |
| 0:14.8 | Inside the minds of angry and controlling men. |
| 0:17.8 | This was a book that I bought right when the election happened, and then things |
| 0:22.0 | were so horrific. It kind of took me a minute to get through it, and it is content rich, but I'm |
| 0:27.8 | going to pull out the major themes, the most helpful pieces of information. And then, of course, |
| 0:32.2 | with a traditional book review, I'll tell you what I thought of the book at the end. Here's the |
| 0:35.5 | really fun thing about reading a book |
| 0:37.5 | for women that's written by a man. I saw a lot of praise for this book like, oh, you got to read this book. The book is so good. Have you read? Why does he do that? I'll tell you why he does that. I'm like, well, let's find out together. But I didn't research the author. So I read the author's name, Lundy, bankrupt. I don't project anything on to that. That could be a man. That could be a woman. I don't know. I've never met a |
| 0:55.9 | Lundy in my lifeft. I don't project anything on to that. That could be a man. That could be a |
| 0:54.3 | woman. I don't know. I've never met a Lundy in my life. And it turns out it's a man. And if you |
| 1:00.8 | read a book by a man and wait long enough, there will be a scandal. The entire point of me telling you |
| 1:05.0 | that is there has now been a scandal. In fact, there is an entire website now dedicated to calling out this author. The website |
| 1:13.2 | is called Crying Out for Justice.com, is what I searched. And the accusation is that this man, |
| 1:22.5 | Lundy, has preyed on women who have suffered domestic abuse because he knows their weaknesses from |
| 1:30.3 | studying people who have done this kind of abuse for 30 plus years. |
| 1:34.8 | So I haven't read all of this website. |
| 1:36.4 | I really honestly just found out about this like 48 hours ago as I was finishing the damn |
| 1:42.5 | book. |
| 1:43.4 | And the website says that he has quote emotionally, emotionally and sexually prayed upon some of the |
