In this sharp parody, the writer behind the Man Who Has It All social media account lays bare the patriarchy by completely inverting conventional roles, leaving the traditionally dominant sex to navigate relentless, patronizing absurdities ‘Laugh-out-loud funny and soberingly true’ Kate Bottley An explosive satire on gender stereotypes that flips patriarchy on its head to highlight sexist double standards.Exploring subjects like work and comedy, history and sport, the beauty industry and domesticity, anonymous author Man Who Has It All imagines a world in which men are bombarded with the same stereotypical bullshit as women. What if men's t-shirts were emblazoned with slogans encouraging them to be smiley, positive and kind? What if we laughed at jokes about fathers-in-law and male drivers? What if men’s history was a niche topic? Behind the jokes about crazy cat gentlemen, testerical men and the 24-hour moustache lies a deeper, darker message about language, power and control.Smart and provocative, Man Who Has It All shines a powerful light on the prejudice ingrained in our society. Told through fictionalised scenarios and wider cultural analysis, this is a feminist handbook that will arm you against the patriarchy. ‘The book all men need to read.
