Men Are Better Than Women

An interesting read... but having a daughter and two sons my reaction was mixed. My sons brought it to my attention and my teenage daughter thought it was hillarious - which suprised me. Masterson is an entertaining writer and although the book seems to be satirical, it makes a lot of good points (according to my children). I'm a little alarmed at the brutality of the content... but I had difficulty finding ways to discredit what Masterson says in general. I believe if women would start inventing, building, supporting families, be proud enough to stop sucking money from men via dinners, jewelry, alimony, etc., it would help their case. If women are angry at Masterson and his book they'd better start being more productive in this world and stop focusing on "being sexy armpieces" for men. If women are angry at this book it's because it hits too close to home with many of them - notice I didn't say all. When women start acting responsible for themselves, doing their own work, buying their own stuff, generating more worthwhile patents, stop accepting alimony, money, cars, jewelry, houses, stop giving away sex for money/gifts, etc., from men then perhaps they can earn a higher degree of respect from men. Ladies, for my daughter's sake, start using your brains (instead of your looks) to earn respect and stop depending on men to "take care of you." Ladies, it's up to you to prove Masterson wrong but it will require sacrifice, work and effort... do it for yourselves and my daughter.

all the communist panzies who dont like this book are realy in the thrall of women and have convinced themselves thats its ok an natural

its your birthright to have sex all you want with many different poeple

find a god one great?

does she turn bad?

leave

make as much money as you can and vote for small government

Yikes, I have to respond to the request that women need to be more productive and start using their brains instead of their looks. The last three men I dated all earn more money than me and are all in debt. They cannot save or invest a dime. I work full time, invest, have rental property and a side business and have savings! Still, I know a more attractive woman will be chosen over me for an interview or date. Perhaps, it is the men that need to get their priorities straight and give women more respect for their intelligence and accomplishments.
And be more productive?? Give us some more time. Females outperform males academically and yet the man will be hired over the woman. Women are not given the same opportunities and resources as men.
I don't even like the antagonizing tone of the title or even this discussion. Yes, male and female are VERY different. Thank God. Would you want us to be exactly the same. Why must one gender be better than the other? What do you gain by winning this argument? Do you wish for women to not exist outside the home? Is that even possible, realistic or desirable?

Dick Masterson, in his casual yet virile and masterful style, goes about proving that men are, indeed, better than women -- in every respect. At first I was skeptical; surely, I thought, women must excel at _something_? However, backing up his penetrating insights with the latest scientific research, Dick erects a case that will leave no room for doubt in all but the staunchest of critics. Even my wife, whom I repeatedly cautioned not to go near the book (lest she catch on fire), after sneaking a peek was forced to concede the cogency of Dick's case. A must for all gender studies departments.

Not for children.

This book, with pages of corrugated iron, was forged in searing-hot flame on the adamantine anvil that is Dick Masterson's brain. It is a miraculous gift sent from the heavens to fix everything that is wrong with the world today. Men love it because it's hilarious, women hate it because it's true, but no one can deny that this is the single most important literary work that has existed in the universe -- or the much larger "maniverse" -- since the Holy Bible. Dick's masterful use of wisdom and infallible logic will either change your mind or reaffirm what you already know. I guarantee this book will change your life.

Here we have the honest to goodness truth about what second-rate, second-wave feminism has produced over the last 50 years. Couched in slang, every paragraph contains in deliberately hyperbolic exaggeration truths that political correctness forbids academics and media performers (news reporters) from speaking. Glide through the direct, saloon-sounding language and you'll find yourself laughing and nodding in full agreement with nearly everything this man says. Remember the function of humor. It's "stand-up" yes, but of the best sort, which is the result of courage to say what feminist censorship everywhere won't allow. Congratulations to Simon and Shuster for publishing this book. May it have many editions. I hope the author will read sections for Youtube or authorize some just to get the word out about this brash blast of fresh air. Keep in mind that if this were a woman writing about men she would be awarded and rewarded. Masterson can be expected to be reviled. But men are better than women in every respect and here's a perfect example.

Mr. Dick Masterson is truly a visionary. I read this book cover to cover in one sitting because I was mesmerized by the truth presented so eloquently with such great humor and attention to detail. I consider this a work of art that would rival any other piece of literature in this century.

Dick uses the English language to paint a beautiful picture encompassing all the ways in which men are better than women. I would recommend this to any man who has ever had to interact with a female in his life. For many of you, it will be an eye-opening experience. Women, on the other hand, should not read this book as the man logic may cause the female brain to melt down into a comatose state.

A must-buy for any man!

In a time where the media consistently caters to women, this book's direct and humorous satire is a satisfying deviation. Masterson pulls no punches in this comedic critique of the post modern woman, all the while feeding the misunderstood male ego. Certainly worthwhile, but not for the sensitive reader.

As a person who can really appreciate some good satire, I can definitely say that this book is pretty bad. Instead of being an over the top telling of how men are better than women, it just ends up being a harsh berating of women. Sure, I expected some of that, but that's basically all it is. I can't really recommend this because it is just so relentlessly misogynistic that it is painful to read through.

After reading this book today and the authors blog i discovered two weeks ago. the following things has happened to me since then.

1. my body hair mass has increased 10%
2. i use to shave on the 4th day now i have to shave every other day.
3. i have started growing a unibrow

Most men including myself have always felt the men were better then woman at most things in life. but this book just proves that men are WAY BETTER then most woman at almost everything. Women have this built in pride that deludes them into thinking that everything and everybody needs their approval, especially men. This book cuts through all that. good job.

Listen boys, this book is an absolute MUST in this world of ours. Dick Masterson lays it out plain and simple: Men ARE better than women.

Have you ever had a negative experience with a woman? Relationship gone awry? False accusations? Affirmative action?

Well, you have always known deep down inside that there was something you were missing. Some piece of the puzzle that you just didn't have. And Dick Masterson provides you with that missing piece with his book, "Men are better than woman."

Now, a lot of people will say this book is sexist, chauvinist, and politically incorrect. And they would be right. And that is PRECISELY why this book exists!

Our culture of political correctness has created a haven for fallacy and deception. We are constantly bombarded by images and words that tell us that everyone is the same, that we are all equal. And most importantly, that women can do anything men can do.

But that simply isn't true.

We do not HAVE equality in western culture. What we have is a biased legal system, favoring women.

Don't believe me? Perhaps you should look up the following statistics:

Percentage of men who commit suicide VS women.
Percentage of false rape accusations against men VS women.
Percentage of child custody between men and women.
Percentage of deadbeat child support payers between men and women.
Percentage of homeless men VS women.
Percentage of of men VS women who are criminals.
Percentage of criminals who were raised by single mothers.
Percentage of men who initiate divorce VS women.

And that's just the tip of the iceberg.

Men, I am not saying that women are evil creatures who deserve death. I am saying that in our modern culture, women have been given a free pass for bad behavior, and it needs to stop.

Buy this book, go to menarebetterthanwomen.com, and sign up for the forums at menarebetterthanwomen.com/forums. You won't be disappointed.

Listen, I JUST got the book in the mail today, and I'm half way through it. But I couldn't wait until the end to rite a review. Men simply need to buy this book. And I guarantee you that you won't be disappointed if you do.

This guy must have been burned by women his whole life because he is downright bitter and angry. I read over half of it and just got tired of listening to this guy rant on and on. Based on a ton of good reviews, I thought it would be somewhat funny, clever, thought provoking, a lot of those, "ah ha! yea men really are better than women at that! Good insight!" but no, for the most part that was not the case. It's got too much of an angry, bitter, negative tone throughout than made me tired of listening to this guy constantly whine and complain about how women constantly whine and complain (kind of ironic).

Dick Masterson obviously has mommy issues. He expresses pure hatred of women and puts it forth in a diatribe of venom.. He rehashes the same points over and over, veiled as witty anecdotes. We get it, women are dumb, lazy, vindicitive, needy, etc.

Be more funny!

This book is poorly written. Some of the stuff is just dead wrong. Although, I agree with parts of it. I am guessing the guy is just another troll. The book you guys should be reading is "The Manual", "[...]". Girls are not totally dumb, but they also deny what they really want. Most women like to be dominated and controlled. They want to be "swept off their feet" and they all want confident, even arrogant, men. The problem is keeping it going. If you do not have the goods she will figure it out in a couple of months.

Here we find the raw illiteracy of the Internet legitimized in a Simon & Schuster publication. Dick Masterson is no great writer from the start, but what's worse, Women Are Better Than Men doesn't seem to have been copy-edited for basic spelling, grammar, punctuation, etc. Reading this book feels very much like reading a long rant in the "comments" section of somebody else's article. One's eyes glaze over shortly between the Introduction and Chapter Two. One would expect a Simon & Schuster book to at least pass a fourth-grade English class!

Also, "learn to take a joke" only applies to the truly FUNNY. For everyone else, including Dick Masterson, it's a cowardly excuse, but such is the nature of the Internet, now brought to life on paper, or your e-reader, courtesy of Simon & Schuster.

People absolutely do take this book, and the beliefs expressed in it, seriously. All you have to do is look at the website with the same name as this book. There, Masterson writes much uglier, more hateful articles, with no sign of satirical intent, and a handful of devoted followers -- YES, even SIX (6) YEARS AFTER this book was published -- echo and amplify his sentiments with undiluted venom. Female genitalia is the primary target, with language like "slimy", "crusted", "scabby", "cesspool", and "like a sewer" used prominently. NOBODY, least of all Masterson himself, ever stands up and says "Really, I'm just kidding, okay?" Because they're NOT. He's NOT KIDDING. Dick Masterson isn't kidding any more than Rush Limbaugh is a comedian. Remember, Andrew "Dice" Clay wasn't kidding, either, until his career started to tank. You can't keep this kind of "kidding" up for six or more years. You have to be really driven to express hatred, so consistently, for so long.

I'm really surprised and disappointed that Simon & Schuster published this book. That means at least one better book didn't get published. They should pull the unsold copies and bury them in the desert, next to the Atari 2600's "E.T." game cartridges.

As the book is described, this author is "simple and self-contained...[he] demand[s] no commitments" from you or anyone else who might actually open this rubbish of a book - he is an entitled, heterosexist, self-congratulatory, white neanderthal of a man who felt it necessary to write an entire book about how being an entitled, heterosexist white man is better than being a woman. He felt it necessary to write an entire book as a homoerotic homage to men everywhere from a sad and lonely place deep inside him. This dude is no philosopher, no poet - he's an annoying and obnoxious clown.

The fact that this book exists and that there are enough men out there who feel the sad and desperate need to read it speaks volumes about our uneducated, ignorant, patriarchal, misogynistic, and backwards society. Gross. Dick Masterson is transparent in what he's actually after by writing this book, and he's maybe even a tiny bit of a genius if only because he's found a way to be seen and revered by other men, but for all of the wrong reasons. He's playing a game to be rewarded with infamy, and he's a little like Rush Limbaugh or Ann Coulter, as his followers are those who can't find peace or self-esteem inside of them, and somehow feel the world (and women) owe them something for their own open, public, and self-inflicted suffering. A for effort, Dick, especially since you are a fraud (look up[...]). Though it may be funny to some, to others (like myself), the whole charade is troubling because of the people who DO take you seriously. Joke or not, do we really need more people out there preaching misogynistic viewpoints to people who don't have a braincell to spare? Yikes. No.

Don't waste your time reading this, unless you're a sad, unhappy person who needs an entire gender to hate - if it makes you feel better, go ahead. If you're more interested in healing yourself and ending your internal strife/suffering, check this book out instead: Radical Acceptance Embracing Heart Buddha

A soporific force-fed to us by a toothless grandpa inebriated by too much sherry, fraught with frustration - and insecurity. Otherwise why does Mr. D have to dazzle us with the name of Mr. Cage before we even begin to read the book? Is he telling us that his words and opinions are worthless without their having been read by a celebrity? And, please note, Mr. Cage "read" it, he does not necessarily "like" it.
Oh no, I'm not getting personal, everyone's entitled to his opinion, even if I don't agree with Mr. D's. I'm here solely to comment on his work.
It's so banal to "man"nipulate the English language by prefixing every word with "man". That's just "man"gling it. See? There are many words that start with "man" naturally, all by their little selves. And I suppose the style of the Never-ending Appendix is meant to make the whole thing look like a political manifesto ( "man" again! ). Alas. Without substance, it is only never-ending, period. A senseless grumble without even the merit of being venomous, which I surmise is what Mr.s aspires to.
Ah, comparison. Mr Max Tucker has no affection for women either. but at least his book is not a self-congratulatory squawk in the ear. There is form, function, and he shows us names and places to keep us from falling asleep. Surprise! They do that in books?
Under the deluded dream he's articulate and dynamic, Mr. D repetitively drones on the same subject with as many paltry ideas as he can gather. Not many, apparently.

The book lacks any punch.
I was hoping that Masterson's gender dividing barbs would at least be clever, but I was bored with the entire thing.
Take away his cheesy mustache and the cigar, and you're left with some pencil-necked geek who was probably stood up for the prom, and he's frantically trying to whack a chick with his wet hankie. Mr.Masterson's writing is an ode to post-pubescent male crying jags...someone obviously broke his widdle heart.

I bought this book because of the great cover and the many positive reviews I read on this site. Boy, was I duped. The writing style is completely horrid, as if the author didn't even graduate from high school. The amount of obscenities significantly takes away from what little humor there was and makes me wonder why I hadn't popped in a N.W.A. album instead. Every aspect of this book screams amateur. If you want a couple of cheap laughs at essentially the same joke rehashed several times, this is the book for you.

The author reminds me of a racist...basically someone way too stupid and ignorant to argue with. He claims almost everything has been invented/created by men. That's true, but there's a good reason for this. Women (in America) only started becoming college educated about 100 years ago. The main focus in a woman's life is her children. Women are busy sacrificing their education and career to take care of their children, I myself am an example of this. I'd rather work a crummy part time job so I can take care of my daughter myself. Sacrificing for your children isn't something that women should be ridiculed over, it's something they should be commended on. Also, one can make the same comment about blacks and other minorities not "inventing" things, does that mean that Whites are superior to them? No it just means that different people have different opportunities in life. Whites have obviously been in America longer so they were able to acquire money, property, businesses and pass it down from previous generations. Most minorities came here as refugees in the 70s and 80s. This is the type of idiotic mentality the author has, there's no reasoning with people like this.

I wonder what happened to the author, was he physically abused by his mom, because his beliefs are highly abnormal. After all, the way you see the opposite sex stems from your opposite sex parent. I think he tries to be overly outrageous in order to create controversy, thus generating more sales. Sadly he hasn't accomplished that.

I can understand the occasional annoyance with the opposite sex, but this book is really mean and nasty. Apparently all women are money hungry. AHEM...I'm married to a TEACHER!! Believe me, I'm far from money hungry. I SUPPORTED HIM while he worked on his bachelors and masters, while I already had mine. Why? Because I love him, he's a good husband and excellent father to our baby GIRL. I thank God most men are normal and don't think like this nutcase. The men who do enjoy this book are UGLY LOSERS who obviously can't get laid and are constantly rejected by women.

Girls and women in the Congo are GANG RAPED...so are the men still "better" than the women? Girls and Women in Afghanistan have acid thrown in their face if they go to school....so are the men still "better" than the women?

This book is designed to create more animosity between the sexes. Men and women should be UNITING, finding ways to communicate and bond, not hate each other. We already have enough hatred.

He says that women are only good for having babies and they're not even good at raising them. Ummm, how many SINGLE MOTHERS are there in the US?? Where the heck are the fathers????????????

With his sick mentality he should join the Taliban, he's absolutely no different from them!!!!

Let me say this: to have a serious publishing house actually print this shovinistic verbal diarrhea is a testament to someone's serious lack of judgement.

To present this crude, verbal assault and degradation of womanhood as Q: "hilarious" is just plain disturbing!

I would like to share with you a few pearls acquired at random, but alas the store will not let me post it labeling it "profane".
And though I agree with the definition, I do not see why the quotes would be banned from my review if the store choose to sell the book, especially since it was labeled as satirical and hilarious...
However you can see my full review with quotes from the book here ....paperbackswapDOTcom -> Men are better then women.

I will not argue any of the "observations" because I refuse to reason with someone who with every word proves he is at best mentally challenged and at worse gender racist.... Or possibly in his case truly does carry his wisdom "down south".

So my final thoughts: It is a wonder that the so called author and the publishing house have not yet had their pants sued off...

So, I ignored the warnings in the beginning of the book that said women shouldn't read it. I have a great sense of humor and knew I could handle the slamming in return for some good humor. I have read about a chapter in a half and am bored beyond belief. It has humor-like moments but lacks in content. It is basically just this guy ranting about why he "thinks" men are better with no intelligent reasons. Boo to this book. Maybe one day I will get bored/desperate enough to read the rest of it.

I haven't read this misogynist garbage, and I don't plan on ever reading it. I saw it on "Dick Masterson's" website, menarebetterthanwomen, which I stumbled upon per chance. I came across articles written by this guy, ramblings which mostly said things like, "Women are only good for cooking, cleaning, breastfeeding, menstruating, complaining, and spending money", and "Girls are worse than boys in all school subjects and only excel at gossiping", the latter of which isn't even true, as several studies have shown that girls do better than boys in school.

The irony of men who have these ideologies isn't lost on me, seeing as how women weren't even allowed to attend college until 1848 (and attending college didn't become socially acceptable for another 100 years), and women in the workplace wasn't exactly common until WWII.
