      As a collection of the most disturbing hairstyles ever, Bad Hair Days isn't one for the faint-hearted! Mullets, quiffs, bouffes and flicks are just some of the follicle atrocities to have emerged from barbers' shops over the last 30 years - indeed, today they are often still proudly on display in the windows of traditional barbers. Here, collected in book form for the first - and possibly last - time, are the best of the worst of these gems, culled from the windows of hairdressers across the land. Now facing a tough onslaught from the sleek new designer salons, it may not be long before the familiar barbers' poles and cutthroats vanish forever, so if you're into tightly permed fringes or a Lady Di wave effect (and in 1981 a lot of men were), read on…Another hair-raisingly shocking book from the publishers of THE MULLET.

      Men and women find themselves at a historic crossroads, with the potential for a new understanding post-Weinstein. However, dark forces are fostering suspicion and mistrust between the sexes. As polarization grows, both sides feel increasingly resentful, with soaring male suicide rates and women questioning the absence of "good guys." Some men are even withdrawing from relationships entirely. Gender roles are becoming blurred, and the very notion of masculinity is being challenged by an orthodoxy that views straight white males as oppressors and women as victims. This conflict unfolds across various arenas, including online platforms, media, political events, and university campuses, where ideological battles rage between fourth-wave feminists, second-wave feminists, and men's rights activists. Ordinary individuals grapple with identity politics, while young women are cautioned to view male attention with suspicion. Journalist James Innes-Smith explores this worrying gender war, highlighting that the crisis of masculinity has evolved into a potential catastrophe with significant implications for society as a whole.
