Manhood today is under siege--regarded as an object of menace on college quads, associated with various forms of real and imagined oppression, ridiculed in humanities departments, parodied by sitcoms and commercials, and shriveled to a raisin-sized remnant by psychosexual theorizing.

The Right Tool for the Job is a comic account of one man's struggle to honor his testosterone heritage--with varying results.
