many women seek recovery outside of AA for reasons that AA asks for powerlessness. If a woman has been abused or traumatized, suffers low self-esteem, or PTSD I'd say the last thing she needs is ego deflation. It about set my recovery backwards 5 years. AA is not for everyone and WFS is all about helping women who don't need ego deflation. To me it's all about what works for each of us.
It's rather hypocritcal of Bill W to have his women and want wives to be ego deflated. But I see it was a product of it's time, women had zero rights back then. I hope things have changed some but still some women don't need this approach it is very harmful to their recovery.
