Man Down: proof beyond a reasonable doubt that women are better cops, drivers, gamblers, spies, world leaders, beer tasters, hedge fund managers, and just about everything else...
Finally, a man has the guts to admit the truth! In this tongue-in-cheek series of short essays, Abrams quotes studies and statistics from around the world that support his assertion that woman really are the superior sex in most respects. He describes Adam as a sort of test model that God used before finally perfecting his creation in the form of a woman. In general, women are better looking, more compassionate, more successful competitive eaters, they vote more, sleep better, run longer, endure pain better...the list just goes on and on. Not that every woman is superior to every man, but as a gender we have been undervalued for years, apparently. Abrams paints a rather bleak possible future for men, who most likely will be consigned to roles as househusbands and clerical workers as women's success in education, business, and politics continues to burgeon. This nifty little tome is humorous, to be sure, but it does inspire one to wonder why men have been in charge of so much for so long while obviously under-performing when compared to what women could have achieved. "Behind every great man there is probably an even greater woman..." Abrams, an attorney, presents some compelling evidence here. Food for thought!
