In this unexpectedly hilarious social novel, a misguided thirty-something tries
to beat his girlfriend at her own game: becoming the ultimate feminist.
When he first meets Najwa at a lecture by Siri Hustvedt-whom he's never read-our
hero discovers a whole new world of feminist thought. Determined to impress her,
he sets out sincerely on his journey to allyship. His mother confides in him
about the dreams she had to sacrifice because of the patriarchy, and he laments
the violence and oppression women face. But he can't help but notice that
they're going about their activism the wrong way...
So our hero does what any good ally should: he gathers the worst of the
macho men in town and begins a campaign to provoke the feminists. By "putting
them in their place" with this phallic club-pelting demonstrators with raw eggs,
posting obscene, threatening manifestos-he's convinced he can make women
understand, and get them to fight harder for the cause.
