Now updated with new material, Flipping Patriarchy imagines a world in which men are bombarded with the same stereotypical bullshit as women – from Man Who Has It All, the social media sensation followed by millions. 'I love this book' Fern Britton'Laugh out loud funny' Kate BottleyWhat if men's T-shirts were emblazoned with slogans encouraging them to be smiley, positive and kind? What if we laughed at jokes about middle-class men of a certain age? Exploring subjects from work and comedy to history and sport, Man Who Has It All asks the questions patriarchy never wants asked.
