About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

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

As a man, we want an expert to explain stuff to us. Turns out Caitlin may be one of those experts. Fact based and source driven data (real mens opinions). My eyes were opened, and thoughts provoked. Porn, lady parts, relationships, and my struggles to seek help all explored.

Some good points but it's a bit middle class.
Can't imagine working class men relating to it much

Not usually into this genre but it was a deal and the sample sounded promising.

So pleased I did as I have laughed my socks off. Lots of scenarios that I can now understand from a male point of view and so many times I have just thought…. why are men like that?

Now I need to get my late teen son to listen to this, but I have more chance of hell freezing over. However my girls will love it and so will most women.

Enjoy, but make sure you have earphones, as some of this blue toothed through the car stereo could be embarrassing to others in the vicinity.
