About this title

Synopsis

For the past five years, Richard Herring has been answering sexist trolls on International Women's Day when they ask 'when is International Men's Day?' in the mistaken belief there isn't one. There is, it's on November 19th. Three years ago, Richard started raising money for his enormous Twitter efforts each IWD, raising hundreds of thousands of pounds for Refuge and Calm.

In The Problem with Men Richard expands on those discussions and tackles some of the big questions surrounding the problems of toxic masculinity - for women, but also for men - including:

- Should men fear feminism?
- Is society sexist against men?
- Could you win a point against Serena Williams?

*spoiler* The answer to all of these is no.

With Richard's signature humour and insight, The Problem with Men is a book for anyone striving for an equal society, all year round.
