Description

Men are brilliant. Being a man is brilliant. Seriously, it is. Except for penile dysmorphia, circumcision, paying the bill, becoming a weekend father, critics who've been hating on us for, well, pretty much fifty years - oh, and those pesky early deaths. Fortunately, Peter Lloyd is here to tackle the controversial topics in this fearless - and frequently hilarious - bloke bible. Part blistering polemic, part politically incorrect road map for the modern man, Stand By Your Manhood answers the burning questions facing the brotherhood today: Should we fund the first date Are we sexist if we enjoy pornography Is penis size a political issue And do feminists secretly hate us Frank, funny and long overdue, this is the book men everywhere have been waiting for.

Reviews

'A sophisticated tome for the modern man.' The Mirror 'It is: intelligent, very well-researched including extensive interviews with many female academics and researchers, myth-busting, articulate, witty, upbeat, challenging, surprising, laugh out-loud funny in places, shocking in others, angry, compassionate, respectful of women, optimistic and a really good read.' The Huffington Post '[An] angry, funny, provocative book [that] certainly offers plenty of food for thought. I am stirred by his rallying call for us to become 'suffragents'.' Brian Viner, Daily Mail 'A funny, frank read. I don't think I'll ever look at my manhood in the same way again.' Danny Wallace 'Empowering and humorous... his entire book is a call to arms for men to celebrate, acknowledge, and take pride in themselves as men. [A] standing ovation for men.' A Voice For Men

Author Bio

Deftly proving that men can multi-task, Peter Lloyd is a London-based journalist who contributes to The Guardian, the Mail on Sunday, MailOnline and the Daily Telegraph. Originally from Liverpool, he was formerly the staff writer at Madonna's UK PR company, where he salsa danced with Primal Scream's Bobby Gillespie, got drunk with Depeche Mode and bonded with Russell Brand over The Smiths. He also worked as a freelance copywriter for Simon Fuller's 19 in Manhattan, New York. This is his first book (but hopefully not his last).
