Review by MORNA MURPHY MARTELL

What I liked

Here is an intriguing and provocative view into what it means to be a man in this restrictive society. Helie Lee enjoys being a sexy, beautiful young woman, but always believed that men had advantages she was denied. Men were clearly free of the roles women are forced into – Hey, men rule the world, right? So, as a social experiment, she chopped off her long hair, scrubbed all traces of make-up off her face, bound her breasts, and wore jeans and plaid shirts for 6 whole months. What she learned will surprise you, as she discovers The Rules for Men that keeps them bound by social roles even tighter than women’s. Already a hit on You Tube as a personal documentary, Lee’s live telling adds greater dimension to the story we already knew.

What I didn't like

The theatre was too cold – brrrr.

My overall impression

Fascinating and informative. Don’t miss this woman’s journey into the secret lives of men!
