Reddit reviews Men Are Better Than Women

The Dick Show.

Even though it's not as good as it used to be, and is going somewhat down the hole of shitty internet drama, it is still one of my favourite things on the internet.

ELEVATOR PITCH FOR TDS because I realize that just saying "go watch this" without watching the three years of backstory might not make sense.

The Dick Show is the podcast of internet comedian Dick Masterson, whose original claim to fame was LARPing the world's most misogynistic man and getting on Dr Phil to promote his comedy book, Men Are Better Than Women

Fast forward a few years, he is friends with internet comedy legend Maddox, and they start a podcast, The Biggest Problem In The Universe. This podcast is also very good, worth listening to. The premise of the show is that each of them would bring in a problem, argue for why it's the biggest problem in the universe, and then present these problems to the listeners to vote on. But the actual charm was that it was basically the virgin maddox vs the chad dick.

A year and change into the show, Dick meets one of Maddox's old ex girlfriends at a wedding, and hooks up with her. Maddox took this poorly, and when he eventually found out that they had in fact hooked up, he abruptly ended the show.

People were really bummed about it, because they love Dick, so he started a new podcast, The Dick Show. At first people kept asking him, why'd TBPITU end. And he said "creative differences" and left it at that. But, a few months in, the lolsuit saga begun.

Maddox posted a video about why the biggest problem ended (I can't find it offhand). In this video, he accused Dick of being a "Rape apologist", intentionally misinterpreting some comments to support this accusation. This resulted in Dick getting kicked out of UCB, which he had been a regular at for a while, it resulted in almost all of his friends cutting contact with him, and it resulted in a bunch of them trying to sabotage and blackball him.

So he came out and told his side of the story. Which was, basically, a) Maddox is an autistic asshole and here's my laundry list of five thousand things he did; and b) I slept with his ex and it made him mad

This eventually escalated into an internet feud that reached its apex when Maddox sued Dick, Asterios (a mutual friend of theirs), and a handful of other people to the tune of $380,000,000, for making fun of him on the internet. This spawned a million memes and served as a never ending source of content for the show as Dick would talk about what was going on.

Incidentally, the judge threw the case out within 10 minutes of hearing it, and was so mad at how ridiculous it was that he threatened to arrest maddox's lawyer on the spot for contempt. I think the exact phrase was "I'll have you taken out of here in chains"

Since then, Dick's been doing his show, which is really just his show, there's no other way to describe it. He's hobnobbed a bunch with youtube edgelords like ethan ralph, andrew warski, and the like. He flirts with things that people would accuse of being alt-right, and occasionally gets accused of it himself, but he's pretty good about walking the line carefully enough that he never draws any serious flak.

Overall, he's pretty funny

People who haven't bought Men Are Better Than Women in hard copy already.

Currently F*ck Whales is sitting at ~33,000 ranked, MABTW at ~40,000 ranked, allegedly a difference of about twenty monthly sales. It would be hysterical is Fasterix got beat by a decade old book.

Men Are Better than Women.

Another demonstration of this

If you're going this route, go with this one too.

no u read this book

If you go with two kindles under one account, prepare for some hilarious reccomendations, if she's reading vampire romance novels and you're reading cyberpunk. And remember you'll have access and be able to see each other's books, so be careful when you purchase something like Men Are Better Than Women ;)

Last year I gave my brother's girlfriend, whom I hated, a copy of Men Are Better Than Women.

You're absolutely right. But you know what's missing here? Context. We have no idea whether or not those tweets were meant to be taken seriously or not.

Personal anecdote: when I was 23, I had this book prominently displayed for anyone to see. The book was satire, but the title was sexist and easily offensive. I did it to get a rise out of people. It was "edgy."

My point is we don't know the story behind the tweets. If that's how he really felt and still feels, then the man is detestable. But if he was just posting edgy comments for shiggles between him and his friends? Well, that would be regrettable, but at least it's understandable, and I certainly wouldn't hold it against him now that he's in his 30's. Let's not forget that development and maturity does continue typically into the mid-20's.

TL/DR: Being "edgy" is still pretty common in early 20's.

Not really.
