Ken Not Included: A Survival Guide for the Plastic Age

KEN NOT INCLUDED Part satire. Part self-help. Part social post-mortem. Ken Not Included is a sharp, genre-bending cocktail of commentary, comedy, and cringe-worthy memoir—written for the modern woman who’s breaking the mold before it breaks her. It’s Cosmopolitan if they actually told the truth. Carrie Bradshaw with a tinfoil hat. A cultural roast wrapped not wrapped in plastic. This book unpacks how women have been manufactured like Barbie dolls—shaped by fairy tales, tampon ads, pop stars, body image standards, and boardroom-approved “empowerment.” Author and podcast host Jennifer Carmody (aka JK ULTRA) pulls no punches as she dissects the programming and dares readers to change the channel. Inside the Book — A Few Highlights: “Commercial Break” & “Skip This Ad in 3…2…” How consumerism rebranded feminism and sold it back to us. “Prince Charming Is a Creep” & “Unhappily Ever After” Deconstructing romance myths and rewriting the fairytale. “The Teen Dream” & “Lolita & The Prince” When pop culture becomes propaganda—and teen girl pay the price. “Sugar, Spice & Market Price” & “Manning Up” Gender roles, career traps, and the cost of corporate equality. “Mascara and Machine Guns” & "Battle of the Sexes" The gender games we never signed up for. “Write Your Own Ever After” & Assembly (of self) Required" The plot twist where you take the pen.
