Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This book is a collection of jokes expressing female frustration with men as expressed in clichés. While some of them are funny, many are in the category of turnabout, in other words women doing to men what women have been complaining about. Others ignore the fact that women are not exempt from some of these behaviors. For example
*) Men would be tried for perjury if they didn't keep their wedding vows.
*) Men would have to wear makeup all the time.
*) There would be a Shopper's Hall of Fame, honoring women who found the best bargains.
*) Men would parade around in beauty contests while we judge them.
The first ignores the fact that large numbers of women also don't keep their wedding vows and the second ignores the fact that many if not most women enjoy wearing makeup. The third continues the sexist stereotype that women live for shopping and the fourth is a clear call to turnabout being fair play. These four examples pretty much sum up the tactics taken in this book.

IF WOMEN RAN THINGS . . . Men would earn 70 cents for every dollar women make. . . . Men would parade around in beauty contests while women judged them. Men! They leave the toilet seat up, won't ask for directions, and don't have to wear pantyhose. They're our partners, our headaches, and the inspiration for this collection of wry and clever observations on what life would be like if the roles were reversed.
