这本颜色鲜艳的时髦漫画书重新定义了男子汉应具备的品质。长话短说，没有规则，也不应该有规则。

本书是证明我们所理解的男子气概只是神话的最完整可靠的证据。男子气概是一个大大的、愚蠢的、站不住脚的神话！本书通过提供一份当代男子气概指南，用一种轻松的方式取笑了男子气概这个概念。于是就有了《如何成为一个强壮的男人》这本书。

本书通过同性恋画家Samuel Leighton-Dore创作的150张“舌头牢牢地固定在脸颊”的插画探讨了现代男性的许多特征。有男子气概的男人做足部保养，给祖母打电话畅聊。最重要的是，有男子气概的男人可以想哭就哭，并知道“男子气概”是一个过时的观念。

This bright book of sassy cartoons redefines what it takes to be a man. Long story short, there are no rules, nor should there be.

This book is definitive proof that masculinity as we know it is a myth. A big, dumb, silly, and quite poorly constructed myth! This book pokes lighthearted fun at the very notion of manhood by offering a contemporary guide to masculinity. Thus: How to Be A Big Strong Man.

Through its 150 tongue-firmly-in-cheek illustrations by queer artist Samuel Leighton-Dore, this book explores the many identities of a modern man. A manly man gets a pedicure, and a manly man calls his grandmother for a nice long chat. Above all, a manly man can cry whenever he pleases and knows that "manliness" is an outdated construct.... Duh!

Just a few short years ago, anyone using the term toxic masculinity would likely have received blank stares or derision in return. But now, at this critical societal juncture, everyone is thinking and talking about how ideas of manhood (as prescribed from birth) affect the way men think and act. How to Be a Big Strong Man explores all these weighty ideas through its cute, sassy, and satirical cartoons.
