This book carries a quote from [a:Caitlin Moran|939363|Caitlin Moran|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1340897771p2/939363.jpg] exclaiming 'GRAYSON PERRY FOR KING AND QUEEN OF ENGLAND. Imagine how BRILLIANT our country would look if he was?', which I found interesting as for me it's a great companion to her own masterpiece, [b:How to Be a Woman|10600242|How to Be a Woman|Caitlin Moran|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1405909800s/10600242.jpg|15507935]. It has a slightly more academic feel to it (being much shorter and a little lighter on hilarious anecdotes) but it's just as trailblazing in exploring gender roles in this crazy world. Personally, I can't get enough of Mr Perry, not least because he reminds me quite a lot of my husband (they're both cross-dressing Essex boys who went to art school and love skateboarding and bicycles) and he's become a much-need voice in the campaign for gender equality from the all too silent cis men's side. Juicy bedtime read this isn't but it is fascinating to hear from a man who has REALLY considered his gender and the effect the standards masculinity have on men. Turns out, they could benefit hugely from equality too. A very engaging, worthwhile and quick read.
