Yikes. Didn't know about the YouTube channel. This guy is almost cartoonishly misogynistic.
For me, at least, knowing things like this about the author of a book (or a musician or whatever), it's something I think about while reading or otherwise absorbing their work. It's difficult for me to think of the artist as separate from their art.
In fact, it's sometimes difficult for me to enjoy a piece of art (especially visual art like paintings) at all unless I know a bit about the backstory behind the piece, or the author's inspirations for creating it. Knowing that Sonmez was probably thinking about ways of tricking women into sleeping with him while writing Soft Skills would make that book unreadable for me, even if the content of the book itself was useful.
What are your recommended alternatives to Soft Skills? I'd rather promote them than Sonmez's work.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
