The celebrated Playboy columnist offers his slant on relations between the sexes in a collection of essays with such provoking titles as "Equal Rights for Men," "Boss Ladies," and "The L Word." By the author of The Land of a Million Elephants.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Unreconstructed, in-your-face macho journalism, these essays are taken from the author's "Men" column in Playboy magazine. Male readers may take heart and female ones might learn something. Baber, self-appointed defender of Naked men (as in vulnerable and/or sexually available), aims his salvos at self-righteous, politically correct feminists who, he complains, have Playboy banned from 7-Eleven stores, attack men on Oprah Winfrey or put blinders on husbands' roving eyes. He advises men how to avoid charges of sexual abuse in a post-Hill-Thomas world and, in an uncharacteristic essay, congratulates feminists for their restraint following the William Kennedy Smith trial verdict. Don't look for subtle portrayals of women here, or of men, for that matter. The genders are stereotyped on either side of the Gap. The picture Baber paints is funny, enraging and/or accurate, depending on where one stands.

A woman's view of *Naked at Gender Gap...*,
By Melody (Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Naked at Gender Gap: A Man's View of the War Between the Sexes (Hardcover)
Asa Baber is actual proof that Playboy magazine really DOES have interesting articles. His most recent book is a collection of his columns from the magazine which explores the minefield of gender issues in a witty, vulgar, brave and sometimes weary masculine voice. If you really want to know what most men are afraid to talk about, read this book. If a women wants her Significant Male Other to view her as truly liberated, she'll buy this book for him!
