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.'This is a great book but I think the last thing it needs is a quote by yet another man.'
