I love this book Fern BrittonLaugh out loud funny Kate BottleyAn explosive satire of 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 mens T-shirts were emblazoned with slogans encouraging them to be smiley, positive and kind? What if we laughed at jokes about fathers-in-law, male drivers and middle-class men of a certain age? What if mens history was a niche topic?
