This was a really interesting read which is split into different questions such as 'Would a man be put off if a woman earnt more than him?' or 'Do men think women are equal?'. The author explores each question not just by throwing the results of the survey at you but through a unique way involving 3 fictional characters. I thought this was done really well and felt refreshing instead of just reading a book full of stats and research.

I will admit at times it was an infuriating read but not because of the writing but the answers to the survey from the men.

Each chapter follows the same structure: question, fictional characters thoughts, a look back through time and then finally the survey results.

Definitely a book I'd recommend if you're intrigued by what men really think...some of the answers might just surprise you!

i actually really enjoyed it, even though the entire time i was thinking "UGH MEN 😡🙄"

i think the fictional men are a great device to show men's opinions through, but reading buddy's idiotic opinions did make me want to walk into the ocean. he's obviously a representative of misogynistic beliefs, so i suppose most women would feel the same. but omg if all men were like that... 🤢🤢🤢

i found all the chapters super interesting and not too repetitive (for the most part, it did get a little repetitive in the middle there because some of the chapters were a similar concept).

also, this quote from one of the female survey respondents really got me:

"the idea of a smart woman is sexy, the reality of a woman smarter than themselves is often harder for them to stomach"

I could relate to the characters in certain moments while reading
I agree with some points of view, however not all of them. Reading made me think about society as a whole and I feel that men dont need to try that hard because our entire culture is built around their needs and preferences. Anyway, was fun
