As a kid growing up in Manhattan, William Helmreich played a game with his father they called "Last Stop."

"Min uimodståelige mand" er en vittig og personlig beretning om manglen på ligestilling i en tid, hvor #MeToo-bølgen forandrer, hvad politikere ikke har magtet, og kvindebevægelser altid har drømt om. Dokumentarist, forfatter og feminist Mette Korsgaard opsøger forskere og eksperter for at finde en forklaring på, hvorfor Danmark halter bagud på ligestillingsbarometeret, hvorfor vi ikke orker at tale om det, og hvorfor vi alle i bund og grund er mandschauvinister.

Men de, der dengang var unge og raske, er nu blevet gamle; mange med utallige skavanker pga. nedslidning fra år med hårdt manuelt arbejde. For nogle er livet endt med, at det bedste på en dag, er når de tager til byen for at købe grønt "ovre hos araberne", som Ahmet fortæller om sin hverdag.
