Men to Avoid in Art and Life pairs classical fine art with modern captions that epitomize the spirit of mansplaining.

This hilarious book perfectly captures those relatable moments when a man explains to a woman a subject about which he knows considerably less than she does.

Situations include men sharing keen insight on the female anatomy, an eloquent defense of catcalling, or offering sage advice about horseback riding to the woman who owns the horse.

• These less qualified men of antiquity dish out mediocrity as if it's pure genius
• For the women who have endured overbearing men over the centuries
• Written with hilariously painful accuracy

"Now, when you're riding a horse, you need to make sure to keep a good grip on the reins." "These are my horses."

Through cringe-induced empathy, this timeless gift book of shared experiences unites women across history in one of the most powerful forms of resistance: laughter.

• Started as a Twitter thread and quickly gained widespread popularity.
• A great pick for a birthday or Galentine gift for a friend who needs a funny pick-me-up
• Makes a perfect gift for women and feminists with a wry sense of humor, millennials, anyone who loves memes and Internet humor, as well as history and art buffs.
• Add it to the shelf with books like Men Explain Things to Me by Rebecca Solnit, Milk and Vine: Inspirational Quotes from Classic Vines by Emily Beck, and Awards For Good Boys: Tales Of Dating, Double Standards, And Doom by Shelby Lorman.

Reviews

funny and relatable!

"This is a book to give to all the women in your life, they will all laugh and relate to it. I alternated between laughing out loud and wanting to smack these mansplainers upside the head, plus I got to look at some lovely art! I will never look at art the same way again, I'll be looking for historical mansplaining caught in the act! #MentoAvoid #NetGalley"

Art, feminism and a good laugh

"I had a great time reading this book, and I think I'll flip through it often: it was so funny and accurate! I completely recognize some situations I lived, and could completely identify with the women's expressions sometimes! I also really loved the choice of paintings: it made me want to learn more about them and about art in general! It's a very quick read, worth it for the laugh and the relevance!"

Famous Painting Memes

"A fun little book. Fine art paintings that have been turned into meme's and captioned. This is an enjoyable book that puts words to the faces and the expressions from paintings. If you have ever imagined what what the subjects of a painting might be saying, this is the book for you."
