About The Book
A new book by the creator of social media smash hit @manwhohasitall whose work exposes the ridiculousness of gender stereotypes one tweet and Facebook post at a time.
'I resist the natural urge to grab my male employees by the testicles because I have a husband, son and father. Otherwise I would.' Claire, CEO
The tweets and posts are funny because they are true. But behind the jokes about penis steaming and crazy cat gentlemen lie deeper, darker messages about language, power and control. Followers often say @manwhohasitall is too close to the bone. This book penetrates the flesh further, exposing a new layer of feminist discomfort and joy.
'Here, have a scented candle and stop moaning.'
This is the message from society to the Woman Who Does Too Much. If you are stressed because you are doing all of the things, and your husband is doing none of the things, light a scented candle called Calm and have a long soak in the bath. That’ll fix it. The candle is called ‘Calm’ instead of ‘Calm Down Dear’ because it is not a political candle, it is not gaslighting you directly. But indirectly, these ubiquitous products are instructing women to be calm and quiet. As if a rectangle of wax in a glass jar can melt away the dizzying mental load carried by women, especially mothers. Where are the products that reflect how women really feel? Where is the reed diffuser called ‘Resentment’ or the room spray called ‘Really Fucking Tired’?
