As any feminist who talks about the problems of girls and women will know, the first question you will ever be asked is 'But what about MEN?' After eleven years of writing bestsellers about women and dismissing this question, having been very sure that the concerns of feminism and men are very different things, Caitlin Moran realised that this wasn't quite right, and that the problems of feminism are also the problems of, yes, men.

So, what about men? Why do they only go to the doctor if their wife or girlfriend 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 their fondness for super-skinny jeans leading to an epidemic of bad mental health? Are men allowed to be sad? Are men allowed to lose? Have Men's Rights Activists confused 'power' with 'empowerment'? And is Jordan B Peterson just your mum - but with some mad theory about a lobster?

In this book, Caitlin intends to answer all this and more - because if men haven't yet answered the question 'What About Men?', it's going to be down to a busy woman to do it.

'A must-read eye-opener that makes you laugh, cry, get angry and get happy on every page. It's magnificent' Bob Mortimer

'I fall passionately in love with absolutely every single thing Caitlin Moran writes - and I've fallen very hard for this book... Eye-opener, page-turner, women-translator, guy-empowerer - put like that, I hope you'll agree it's incredibly reasonably priced' Marina Hyde


'Our greatest modern writer on women turns her eyes on men - and it's all good' David Baddiel

This book has been so enlightening. Growing up in a family with 4 girls, I found it so much easier to relate to my 2 daughters, than my 2 sons, once they reached puberty. I had no idea that boys & girls are growing up in different worlds, with different expectations and coping mechanisms. Thanks for writing this book Caitlin.☺️

Absolutely loved this book

The heading is my takeaway from this book, brilliantly presented, very funny but not a lot of practical answers.

The other upside is that I least now no off 2 women who don't think I'm a tw*t just because I am male

I will go and listen to her other book on how to be a woman and then provide my wife with practical insights, just to see how long I survive.

Be a better man by being more feminine???

This was well researched in the main and very refreshing. It does present the world a bit too much through a liberal, middle class lens. And it’s a bit crude for my taste. But there is no doubt this, like all of her books, is a work of art and has the power to help us be better humans.

Challenged my thinking

Thought provoking and the start of a interesting discussion about the new position of boys and men in the modern world. This is a good read.

The start for a interesting conversation

I must say I really enjoy Caitlin’s style - thoughtful sometimes flippant and incredibly funny. I therefore thought she might not be the one to write this book . It turns out it is very thoughtful and touching . It slightly annoyed me that she took the obvious Channel 4 news angle Jordan Peterson in assuming that his work is easily dismissable as I see that he is one of the few men that dares to point out and help the plight of young people ( yes not only men )
That aside I thought she ahead nailed it in Her summing up and this actually had me crying on my way to wash my wife’s car and fill up her tyres!
I think it’s a must read if you have boys , are a boy , or simply want to understand half of the planets occupants !

I hate to say this but this made me both belly laugh and cry like a baby.
