For almost a decade, 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.

If only the trolls had learned to use Google they'd realise that there is an International Men's Day - it's on November 19th.

In The Problem with Men Richard expands on his Twitter 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.

Critic reviews

"The problem with The Problem with Men is that I do believe men will have less trouble with it than the title suggests as it is actually a glorious, funny book written by a glorious funny man." (Aisling Bea)

"Very moving, one of the few things I've consumed in 2020 that has left me with a sense of hope...but one thing wasn't made clear, when is International Men's Day?" (John Robins)

"This is a great book but I think the last thing it needs is a quote by yet another man." (James Acaster)

No matter how far down the woke ladder you stand, this is an excellent book to help you move up a rung or two. Or, at the very least, show you what a wazzock you are for not even knowing such a ladder exists.
A witty and insightful look at Richard Herring's own obsessive, ten year guardianship of educating fellow Twitt-iots about when International Men's Day is, it's November the something, I can't be bothered to remember, or Google it.
Very funny listen for people serious about gender equality and for men who want to know how to start their journey into de-wazz-ification.

I'm a man and I approve this message.
