Beskrivning

A small band of radical feminists has been exercising considerable influence over the British public policy agenda for years, and the Conservative-led coalition led by David Cameron, the prime minister, is enacting The Equality Act 2010: the brainchild of a radical feminist MP from the previous left-wing administration, Harriet Harman ('Goliatha'). The author, who worked for the Conservative party over 2006-2008, employs the full force of his man logic to examine not only gender issues in the workplace - such as the 'gender pay gap' and 'gender balance in the boardroom' - but also other big issues in the modern era. What are women interested in? Why are fat women fat, and why are British taxpayers funding their celebrations of fatness? Why does Fairtrade coffee always taste like mud? And why aren't men revolting?
