Is God male or female? Why do women, but not men, flush
public toilets with their feet? Why are men, but not
women, obsessed with parallel parking? Why do women, but
not men, leave eleven-minute messages on answering
machines? Why do men feel guilty about nothing, and women
feel guilty about everything? Was Marilyn Monroe...fat? These philosophical quandaries, and more, are finally
debated in I'm with Stupid, an uproariously funny dialogue
between Gene Weingarten, the gleefully misogynistic
Washington Post humor columnist, and Gina Barreca, the
gleefully feminist University of Connecticut professor. The first significant book about men and women actually
written by a man and a woman, I'm with Stupid is privy to
the dark secrets of both sexes. It's not a lecture, but an
extended argument, a combustion of viewpoints that winds
up unearthing startling truths. In the words of Gene and
Gina: "Our Mars and Venus breach their orbits and collide
in a screaming fireball from Hell." The subject matter
spans art and expression, science and technology, politics
and history, spirituality and religion, sex and sexuality,
as well as the complex etiology, sociology, and etymology
of dirty jokes. Men: Learn at last how to know for sure
when you are having a fight. Women: Learn what he really
means when he says "I'm sorry." Take sides as Gene and Gina face off in a haggling challenge in which the winner
manages to get the lowest price for a Mercedes S500. Or
just take in the show. I'm with Stupid is the book that
finally establishes, conclusively, that women are funnier
than men. And vice versa.
