CULTURE: "Men Are Better Than Women" is my new Bible


Men, I address you as a fellow brother in our manhood and invite you to partake in our newest manquest (that's a man conquest). One of the smartest and most brilliant of our species has compiled 253 pages on the virtues on men, their manliness and all things great (pretty much anything related to the male species). His name, fellow men, is Dick Masterson, and he deserves not only your money but also your sincere devotion to the cause of men everywhere.
I promise that this is not some sick cult or odd fascination with the male species, but rather a book on par with the pro-feminist literature of the past few decades with just one slight change (or addition, if you will) - this time it's about men. Feminist literature has been changing the playing field for all gender relations for the past few decades, but now Dick Masterson standing up for his gender and exclaiming in his man-voice, "Men still rock." This satire is a hilarious send up of common jokes among the masculine side of the species and also has some pretty good stories of things that have happened to the aptly named author in his man travels. For all those men who are owned by their girlfriends, for all the disenfranchised and dejected males who are ashamed of their gender, for all those who feel that they must apologize for being a man and wanting man things - Dick Masterson says nay. Nay, my man-friends! He makes being a man something to be happy about again. Indeed, many of the lines in this gospel mirror something like this entry on page 53 reading, "What is a nerd? I'm a man, so naturally I have all the answers." As all men who are reading this know, this is ABSOLUTELY correct. It may come off as a woman-bashing mysognistic tome, but Brother Masterson is approaching the topic with prose that are dripping with sarcasm and wit (in other words, he doesn't really mean it, ladies).
Well my friends, if you haven't already put down the turkey leg, girlfriend or whatever may have been in your hands to go buy this gospel of masculinity, I urge you to make the sojourn as soon as possible. Not only will you remember why being a man is awesome, but "Men Are Better Than Women" will raise your spirits as you read every word of this mantastic work of satire.
