men and sheds

I got the most significant male-ist men- ist masclinist - well - male orientated book - since - well -ever.

Men and sheds - quite simply is a book about men and their sheds. It shows how a variety of men use their shed to build things - develop their own things - but more importantly - it gives them space - to be themselves.

None of this crap about a group of men hugging - building, assembling, engineering an American quilt - co-operating - working together in harmony - no - this book sends out a very clear message - a man needs to be alone sometime - and - he needs to own space.

Sure he may invite you in - sure he may show you his prize collection - of rusty toys - mishappen bottles - obscene vegetables - but understand - you are entering his personal kingdom - leave well own - do not clean it - do not tidy it - or - when there is an extension - you may be helping - by being part of the foundations - and no all male jury would convict.
