Book Synopsis: An Instant #1 Sunday Times bestseller
With her signature candor and wit, New York Times bestselling author Caitlin Moran attempts to answer society’s weirdly unasked question: What About Men?
Like anyone who discusses the problems of girls and women in public, Caitlin Moran has often been confronted with the question: “But what about men?” And at first, tbh, she dgaf. Boys, and men, are fine, right? Feminism doesn’t need to worry about them.
However, around the time she heard an angry young man saying he was “boycotting” International Women’ Day because “It's easier to be a woman than a man these days,” she started to wonder: are unhappy boys, and men, also making unhappy women? The statistics on male misery are grim: boys are falling behind in school, are at greater risk of depression, greater risk of suicide, and, most pertinently, are increasingly at risk from online misogynist radicalization. Will the Sixth Wave of feminism need to fix the men, if it wants to fix the women? Moran began to investigate—talking to her husband, close male friends, and her daughters' friends: bringing up very difficult and candid topics, and receiving vulnerable and honest responses.
So: what about men? Why do they only go to the doctor if their partner makes them? Why do they never discuss their penises with each other—but make endless jokes about their balls? What is porn doing for young men? Is sexual strangling a good hobby for young people to have? Are men ever allowed to be sad? Are they ever allowed to lose? Have Men’s Rights Activists confused “power” with “empowerment”? Are Mid-Life Crises actually quite cool? And what’s the deal with Jordan Peterson’s lobster?
In this thoughtful, warm, provocative book, Moran opens a genuinely new debate about how to reboot masculinity for the twenty-first century, so that “straight white man” doesn’t automatically mean bad news—but also uses the opportunity to make a lot of jokes about testicles, and trousers. Because if men have neither learned to mine their deepest anxieties about masculinity for comedy, nor answered the question “What About Men?,” then it’s up to a busy woman to do it.

Looking for a book that tackles the question "What About Men?" with wit and candor? Look no further than Caitlin Moran's instant #1 Sunday Times bestseller. Moran, a New York Times bestselling author, fearlessly delves into the often-ignored topic of men's issues. Feminism has made great strides for women, but what about the boys and men in our society? Ignoring their struggles would be a disservice not only to them but also to the progress we are striving towards.
In a world where young men boycotted International Women's Day claiming it's easier to be a woman than a man, Moran recognized the need for a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by men. Statistics show alarming rates of depression, suicide, and radicalization among males. As she interviewed her husband, friends, and the young men in her daughters' lives, she tackled uncomfortable topics with grace and received vulnerable and honest responses.
What about men? Moran raises thought-provoking questions that will make you reflect on the state of masculinity in the twenty-first century. Why are men reluctant to seek medical care without their partner's encouragement? Why do they shy away from discussing their bodies openly? What impact does pornography have on young men? Are they ever allowed to show sadness or vulnerability? By addressing these issues, Moran encourages a genuine debate that aims to redefine masculinity for the better.
In her trademark style, Moran infuses humor into the narrative without compromising the seriousness of the topic. She challenges the notion that being a "straight white man" automatically signifies bad news, emphasizing the importance of embracing a more nuanced view of masculinity. If men have not yet tapped into the power of using comedy to explore their anxieties surrounding masculinity, it's up to someone else to ignite the conversation, and Moran takes on the task with aplomb.
