Caitlin Moran
What About Men?

2023 | Nakladatelství The Book Service Ltd (Penguin)

As any feminist who talks about the problems of girls and women will know, the first question you will ever be asked is 'But what about MEN?' After eleven years of writing bestsellers about women and dismissing this question, having been very sure that the concerns of feminism and men are very different things, Caitlin… Moran realised that this wasn't quite right, and that the problems of feminism are also the problems of, yes, men.So, what about men? Why do they only go to the doctor if their wife or girlfriend makes them? Why do they never discuss their penises with each other - but make endless jokes about their balls? What is porn doing for young men? Is their fondness for super-skinny jeans leading to an epidemic of bad mental health? Are men allowed to be sad? Are men allowed to lose? Have Men's Rights Activists confused 'power' with 'empowerment'? And is Jordan B Peterson just your mum - but with some mad theory about a lobster?In this book, Caitlin intends to answer all this and more - because if men haven't yet answered the question 'What About Men?', it's going to be down to a busy woman to do it.

O autorovi

Caitlin Moran

Caitlin Moran neměla v roce 1990 žádné kamarády, a tak jí zbývala spousta času na psaní jejího prvního románu Kronika rodiny Narmů. Tehdy jí bylo patnáct let. O rok později začala pracovat v hudebním týdeníku Melody Maker a v osmnácti se stala moderátorkou pořadu o pop music Naked City na britském televizním kanálu Channel 4. Po tomto raketovém startu věnovala následujících osmnáct let své kariéry psaní sloupků do deníku The Times – a to jako recenzentka a jako autorka nejčtenější části novin, satirického sloupku o slavných osobnostech nazvaného Celebrity Watch. Za svou práci získala v roce 2010 publicistickou cenu Columnist of The Year udělovanou v rámci British Press Awards, nejprestižnější ocenění britského tisku. Je nejstarší z osmi dětí a rodiče ji spolu s jejími sourozenci vzdělávali doma, obecném domku ve Wolverhamtonu. Četla řadu knih o feminismu – především proto, aby svému bratrovi Eddiemu vědecky dokázala, že je lepší než on. Caitlin není její pravé jméno, byla pokřtěna jako Catherine. Jméno Caitlin viděla ve třinácti letech v románu Jilly Cooper a naprosto ji nadchlo. Své jméno tedy vyslovuje trochu zkomoleně – jako „Catlin“ – a způsobuje tím všem okolo potíže.
