What About Men? by Caitlin Moran

2.5

funny informative fast-paced

Hate to dismiss the book because it makes a genuine attempt at empathizing with masculinity and the ways in which it impacts men and their lives. But there are absolutely no dimensions to the way it acknowledges this dynamic and it flattens nuance to support the jokey stand-up routine tone of the book. I definitely learnt a few interesting things from this book but it would’ve been interesting to see more of the history of how some of these systems came to place, more effective scientific narrative instead of good old gender ribbing that got old very quickly.
