NY Post’s Page SIx column reports today that Mediaite founder and NBC/MSNBC Chief Legal Analyst Dan Abrams has a deal with Abrams Books to publish a book that makes the case for the superiority of woman, tentatively titled Man Down: Proof Beyond A Reasonable Doubt That Women Are Better Cops, Drivers, Gamblers, Spies, World Leaders, Beer Tasters, Hedge Fund Managers, and Just About Everything Else.
Msnbc legal eagle Dan Abrams is making the case for women, literally. He’s inked a six-figure deal with Abrams Books (no relation) to chronicle ways women are superior to men. In “Man Down,” he’ll present studies, polls and other “evidence” to prove that women actually best the boys in typically male areas like gambling and enduring pain, and even make better hedge-fund managers and cops.
Abrams isn’t basing this on his own studies of gorgeous actresses: “If I had any unique insight into women, I would be married. I don’t. This is a fun book written from the perspective of a lawyer making a case. A lot of people will be surprised by what we found.” It’s due around Mother’s Day next year.
Rightardia comment: Great timing!
Why didn't Abrams write a book on law or media instead? According to Abrams:
It started when I read an article on various ways that women are better than men. I found it interesting and honestly didn’t believe some of the examples they cited, so out of curiosity I researched a little to determine how much of it was backed up by actual evidence.
While some of the ones from the article were speculative, as I did a little digging, I was surprised at how many serious studies and research reached the same conclusion — that women, as a group, are more thoughtful, efficient, tougher and less likely to make mistakes. But what led me to actually write the book was seeing the studies on how much better women were in so many areas that are considered classically male.
Abrams has finished the first draft, but am still working on it and adding “evidence” and examples. The goal is to keep it really light and fun while still using legitimate studies and research.
Abrams doesn't claim to have any unique insight into women: I mean come on, I’m a forty-something childless, single guy.
The book will discuss some of those area where men excell: This is not an effort to beat up on us guys but it may serve as a wake up call for some.
Rightardia suspects Abrams will be getting dates from a lot of excellent women after his book is published.
