With 106 phrases, questions, and comebacks, How to Piss Off Men is your guide to comebacks for every type of situation involving a man. Whether it’s referring to his jersey as “cosplay”, telling him you’ll “just Google it” when he begins to mansplain, or

I saw this in a book preview event and immediately asked for it. I work with the public a lot and some of these I would love to give as clap back answers, but would never (but maybe) use.

I actually hadn’t heard of Kyle Prue before this book, but I did go and follow him on TikTok after reading this. I do appreciate the fact that at the beginning of the book, he explains that he is a Cis, white male, and that some of these sayings may not be okay to say in certain settings, and to overall make sure you are in a safe space before saying them - if you actually do.

I was able to find a physical ARC of this, which is now going around my workplace as coworkers enjoy it, so this is a funny read and many have/will enjoy it, especially if you’ve been in a situation with anyone male.

This was a Funny book to read. I This was a really funny book to read because Get home with me.. This book was span on it's So fun. You hit all the right spots. How women pissed off men.

Thank you to NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for this honest review.

While short, How to Piss Off Men was a very funny book. It's a good coffee table book, and something I'm considering gifting to a few friends, especially those who are in college currently (as I believe they could use it well). While some things aren't applicable to everyone, most all of them gave me a good chuckle, and I paused reading to share quite a few over the shoulders of my friend, and one with a different friend who may have an actual use case.

Overall, I'd definitely recommend this book!

I mean, with a title like this how could I pass it up?

Thank you to @netgalley, @sourcebooks, and @kyleprue for the ARC.

I started this last night cause I realized today was the pub day and needed a laugh without using too much brain power. Let me tell you, I couldn't put it down and was snickering the entire time.

Please know that this is a work of comedy and I happen to think Kyle is hilarious and have seen some of his How to Piss Off Men series previously.

I would recommend getting this in physical copy as it's more of a coffee table book and I honestly think everyone should read it. I mean, the first one of the 109 is the classic, "No." Strong start. Even the "How to Use This Book" at the very beginning is hilarious in it's "any middle-school girl can tell you that..." Tell you what? You'll have to read it to find out!

This was a fun little book and had me laughing at times. I really like the author's internet presence, and it was fun to see that translated over.

Short, funny, and to the point. A collection of statements that one (esp. women) can use to piss off men. Hilarious!

Utterly ridiculous, laugh out loud funny, and a fantastic expansion on the TikTok series. Some good suggestions for all occasions, it’s an essential survival tool for bringing down the patriarchy.

On its face, deliberately seeking to piss off men feels like an inadvisable idea at best and a dangerous one at worst.
But there's a thoughtful method to Prue's witty madness. beyond anger lies a plethora of other, more meaningful emotions. And Prue hopes the targets of his 100+ insults will follow the path to the true root of those feelings. In that way, How to Piss Off Men offers those frustrated by men the opportunity to vent their emotions...and offers those men the chance to interrogate theirs.

This "book" was just aight. I was expecting more. More substance. More details. But it was quick. Finish-in-an-hour quick. Just meant to be a collection of the topics this comedian might cover in a skit. Some (few) were funny. Most were, like I said, aight. All-in-all, not mad I read it.

Have you ever wanted a great, cutting line to shut the idiot next to you down because he's just spent the last 30 minutes mansplaining to you? Look no further.

This is silly. It's ridiculous. Every one-liner (or two- or three-liner) cuts hard and deep, from the "accidental" fandom crossover to the compliment of a man's sports jersey "cosplay." I giggled my way through this book. It's light-hearted and filled with knee slappers and a bunch of groaner lines you can trot out to great effect, depending on the situation.

Even my 10 year old son (no, he didn't read all the pages with the cursing.) saw the point from the pages I showed him, and giggled himself silly.

I received an Advanced Reader Copy via NetGalley in return for sharing my thoughts on this book. Thanks to the author and publisher for this opportunity!

I really enjoy the author's videos, and there's a lot of very solid and important reflections in this book regarding "manliness" and male friendships. It was funny while eye-opening, and for the most part, I do believe the author was very mindful about time/place/situation for some of the more provoking comebacks. One thing that didn't fully sit right with me was the amount of responses that involved (women) playing dumb to men (especially to the beloathed mansplainers who are quick to treat you like it either way), but overall, it made for a pretty great read when I needed a laugh!

This was a super fast read (30 min) It did contain several funny lines that made me chuckle. It would be a cute gag gift. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this advanced reader’s copy.

This book was a fun and interesting read! I feel like I was taken aback or surprised by the content while not being surprised? The title is an amazing hook and the book takes hold of you and doesn't let you go!

Laugh out loud funny!!

Quick, easy read full of humor while also briefly 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 favorite phrases 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).

I’ll be sharing my review on my social media pages by the end of the week (and updating my review with the links)!

I did not know who Kyle Prue was when I started this book so I had no idea what to expect. This was super funny and weirdly heartfelt. I look forward to checking out more of Prue's content. *Thank you to NetGalley and Sourcebooks for the ARC of this.*

If you enjoyed Prue's video series, you'll enjoy this. It's a collection of funny vaguely insulting statements with descriptions of how (or why) to use them for maximum effect. I thought the ending was particularly strong when Prue describes patriarchy as a series of boxes we're all put in.

How to Piss off Men was a funny quick read. But to be honest, I think part of the charm of the original source material is Kyle himself. So part of what made these jokes work was the video format and Kyle’s delivery. So they were a little less fun in the book format. Still was happy to read it and support! Worth picking up for a quick laugh if you’re a fan or enjoy the comedy of roasting someone.

This was a fun little read.

Loved:
- any time a common way to lessen women was turned around. For example “oh my god. You’re such a boy boss.”
- any time a women’s brand or the like is turned into a joke about a men’s similar item. For example “I love your spanx!” When reference men’s compression shorts.
- the cover
- The last paragraph of the whole book.

Disliked:
- any time it was sort of poke at LGBTQ+ as a way to piss off a man. Example: “I love your pride shirt.” In reference to someone wearing a Pink Floyd shirt.
- any jokes that sort of assume a group is all the same, such as “were you homeschooled”
- #80 “were you born premature? You kind of give me a preemie vibe.” I work in a NICU and for me I know those babies to be fighters and often you can’t tell when they are older.
- niche jokes that only apply to a very specific situation. If it requires a long essay on when the line might work, it would probably be best left on the editing floor. Unless it was truly hilarious, which unfortunately was not the case.


My favorite parts were actually the last chapters. It is here that the writer shines. I sort of wish he had led with these chapters and leaned more into what he says here. The discussion on “patriarchy depends on structures to sustain itself” is *chef’s kiss.* I would have loved to see more of the ways be focused around this concept.

And the last paragraph on patriarchy traps is all in a box. Women in one and men in a box on top of that one. This is fantastic. Wonderful last paragraph. I could see some ways to piss off a man by using that thought process.

Overall a fun, quick read. Great little gift for a feminist or anti-patriarchy friend.

Thank you Netgalley for giving me the opportunity to read and review this book. These opinion are completely my own.

Some of these are very entertaining. My friend actually just found out her husband of 7 years is circumcised from his mom.
