I’d by lying if I didn’t admit that we regularly have the side-splitting LOLS here at the HerFamily.ie desk. But it’s not often we come across something as funny as this Twitter account – @manwhohasitall – a gender-bending parody account about working dads.
In a nutshell, it rips apart all the advice lifestyle sites like ours give to working mum, highlighting the everyday stereotyping of working mums. But, really, we’re okay with that. We’ll still give it and gladly receive it ourselves, but this account is so witty and subversive it throws open some interesting questions about everyday sexism. And also questions about how do men really juggle it all? I mean, how can they deal with all the expectation thrown at them? Triple jobbing and multi-tasking?
Here are a few of our faves. Let us know what you think – when the advice is flipped, does it sound ridiculous?
I have absolutely no problem with male managers, as long as they leave their hormones at home.

Thanks to neuroscience, we now know that women have a different ‘cognitive cellular architecture’ and can’t actually see what needs doing.
