When I first published my first Villains book called “Persuasion Secrets Of The World’s Most Charismatic & Influential Villains”, a debate erupted amongst its fans.
The debate:
Is the book applicable to women?
And my answer was the following:
The content is unabashedly and unrepentantly male-centric, is intended for men, and intended to improve the lives of men in business, romance, friendships, family, and leaving a lasting legacy on this mud hole when they join the choir invisible. And while it’s true women can (and do) profit immensely from it, it won’t give them as much benefit. And, this is especially true when it comes to the relationships and dating side of things. If anything, it will likely destroy their romantic life unless they find a man who can “out Villain” them, in the way the books describe.
You dare doubt Yours Misogyny?
Then check ye out what this female customer told me:

I've read your Villains book and it's awesome.
And in many ways it's how I've lived my most productive times of my life, without even realizing I was following the rules you set out in your book.
And I can see how this makes men more attractive to the opposite sex - Needy/whiny guys are not a turn on.
Yet as a woman it doesn't tend to lead to great romantic partnerships - in fact the opposite - it seems to lead to being a single lady while following your mission.
Or attracting what I would call "feminine" men (again not the sexiest - see needy/whiny guys above), or it leads to men looking to take you off your game who try to chip away at your success to turn you into a weak woman who will do their bidding.... You know, the guys who claim to want a strong woman, only to do everything in their power to tear her down, destroy her confidence so they can control her and then leave her because she's not the strong woman they were initially attracted to. And then go straight on to dating the blonde bimbo and marrying her. Go figure.
Of course, that's what I've heard :)
I hope your sequel helps us Villainesses, not only in business and life but also in romantic relationships.

But that ain’t all.
To further prove how diabolically sexist the books are, here is an Amazon review for the first book:

The author is a Sexist Pig - But that's not the point!
As a woman, I found a lot of what he writes insulting and offensive. But I wanted to learn his methods, techniques, and mind set. Being offended is hardly a reason not to learn and was the least of my concerns. Let's face it, we can still learn from somebody whether we like them or not. Before this purchase I only knew Ben Settle was successful. Learning from him was the point for buying this book. We can't let little things like feelings interfere with the "Mission". Plus he was writing as a "Villain" so he may not really be like that but pulls it off quite well!

I think we can all agree:
Sob sisters just looking to have their feelings validated & weak white knight men looking to virtue signal & pander in the hopes a girl will allow them to claw their way out of the pits of the Friend Zone are going to be extremely disappointed if they read any of the Villains books.
But marketers wanting to create more persuasive campaigns?
Business owners wanting elevate their brands out of obscurity?
Freelancers wanting to be the only choice their clients deal with?
I daresay the principles in these books can do that an a ho' bunch more.
