How to Piss Off Men: 109 Things to Say to Shatter the Male Ego by Kyle Prue

Thank you to Netgalley and Sourcebooks for the eARC of How to Piss Off Men by Kyle Prue!
Laugh out loud funny! Quick, easy read full of humor while also addressing the very real issue of toxic masculinity and patriarchy.
Included phrases and questions to piss off men, with explanations and sometimes personal stories about Prue! We’ve all had a man try and mansplain at least once in our lives so this book is perfect for combatting that or just providing some much needed humor in our deeply depressing patriarchy-led world 🥲
I’ve followed Prue for awhile on TikTok so I was really excited to read his book! It’s hilarious and one I’ll be getting a physical copy for my library!
I also liked that he makes note warning that although funny and devastating, these things should only be said if you are safe to do so because well, men are men, and as women, queer people, and/or BIPOC people it’s not always safe to say these things.
My personal favorites included “oh so it’s like Kohl’s cash?” (Say this when a man tries to explain crypto), “I love your cosplay” (say this to a man wearing a sports jersey), and “Team Jacob eh?” (Say this to a man with a wolf tattoo)
