Forlagsbeskrivelse af What About Men? af Caitlin Moran

''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 BaddielAs 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 MortimerAll the statistics agree: there has never been a more difficult time to be a teenage boy. And, therefore, there has never been a more difficult time to be the parent of a teenage boy. Failing in education; facing a hopeless jobs market; getting their sexual education from violent pornography; and being endlessly targeted by online influencers who, yes, tell them to make their beds, and go to the gym - but also push dodgy cryptocurrency schemes, and think the best place for a woman is ‘working in a Romanian sex-dungeon’. What About Men? opens with a group of angry teenage boys claiming feminism has ‘gone too far’, and asks: what do boys actually mean when they say that? Are all angry boys, underneath everything, scared? What happens when your son becomes a fan of Andrew Tate? And why do one-in-ten gym-going boys say they’ve felt ‘suicidal’ about their bodies?Having spent a decade writing about women, girls, and their problems, Caitlin Moran found that, in reality, boys and girls have more in common than they think. Women have spent decades trying to feel better about their bodies; trying to find positive role-models; and feeling angry, and scared, about their place in the world. If feminism has ‘gone too far’ is it because we have started to solve these problems? And, if so, what can boys, and men, learn from this?Both laugh-out-loud funny and devastatingly truthful, What About Men? is the essential handbook on 21st century masculinity: the birth-to-death guide on how to help boys rebel against anger, cynicism, misogyny and despair, and find the joy in being a boy.
