For almost a decade, Richard Herring has been answering sexist trolls on International Women's Day when they ask 'when is International Men's Day?' in the mistaken belief there isn't one.

If only the trolls had learned to use Google they'd realise that there is an International Men's Day - it's on November 19th.

In The Problem with Men Richard expands on his Twitter discussions and tackles some of the big questions surrounding the problems of toxic masculinity - for women, but also for men - including:

  • Should men fear feminism?
  • Is society sexist against men?
  • Could you win a point against Serena Williams?

*spoiler* The answer to all of these is no.

With Richard's signature humour and insight, The Problem with Men is a book for anyone striving for an equal society, all year round.

Eleştirmen yorumları

"The problem with The Problem with Men is that I do believe men will have less trouble with it than the title suggests as it is actually a glorious, funny book written by a glorious funny man." (Aisling Bea)

"Very moving, one of the few things I've consumed in 2020 that has left me with a sense of hope...but one thing wasn't made clear, when is International Men's Day?" (John Robins)

"This is a great book but I think the last thing it needs is a quote by yet another man." (James Acaster)

This book starts as an entertaining and informative zoom on a small and relatively benign (yet infuriating) aspect of toxic masculinity. Then it starts zooming out, bringing into view the more troubling and deeply rooted stuff that causes men to act in the way they do. I had to keep pausing it just to relish the pleasure of having Mr. Herring concisely articulate thoughts and hunches I myself have grappled with in vain. I love the little Twitter interludes - demonstrating Richard's ability to keep chipper in the face of such crushing banality and blunt thought. I also like that he acts like a sort of filter; a man on the gates sorting out the idiots so us women get to enjoy the day with a bit less nonsense. Really really good stuff Richard! X

This book is pretty short, but interesting and informative. The extras are great, particularly the Deborah Francis-White interview.

Good book, great extras

Surely the majority considering this book are already avid listeners of the great RHLSTP.
Richard’s relaxed and comical approach to such strong subject matter keeps this such an engaging listen throughout - and even as a lefty liberal snowflake, still raised some points I hadn’t thought.
I’m glad you were never given more TV deals; as we may never have had the great interviews throughout the years

November the what was it again Richard?
