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

Mind opened
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.

An amazing book celebrating men whilst confronting the dangerous impact and power of a mean minority.

Moran does it again!
Moran examines gender issues, but this time from the other side of the fence. While it doesn’t offer answers, it isn’t supposed to. Instead, she points out the glaringly obvious to make you think, all in her usual witty manner. Never mind just men reading this, I would recommend that everyone read it.

Be a better man by being more feminine???
The heading is my takeaway from this book, brilliantly presented, very funny but not a lot of practical answers.
The other upside is that I least now no off 2 women who don't think I'm a tw*t just because I am male
I will go and listen to her other book on how to be a woman and then provide my wife with practical insights, just to see how long I survive.

Typical Cat
An excellent book, good to see something for men, it is needed.
Although I don’t agree with every point, some of it is completely alien to me, but then we are all different.
Would love to have an in depth chat with Caitlin. Many points to discuss.

Not recommending
I had high hopes for this book. I loved How to be a Woman but I felt a little underwhelmed at the end of the listen. It took me many weeks to finish it. A sure sign that it didn't really grab me. Hard to say why. Parts were really funny and entertaining, other sections were thought provoking but overall I found it a little dogmatic: CM telling us what's what. Telling us about her circle of friends, nights out, experiences that sounds quite alien to my own. The men she describes are nothing like my husband and sons. I failed to relate to a lot of the references. Maybe I'm the odd one out...
