Especially since Austen's men are some of the manliest men to have ever manlied. She didn't write doting fops or anything like that. She had a very good understanding of the men in her time, something a lot of female authors seem to either overdo or not do at all.

And I am not being biased just because I happen to love all of Jane Austen's male characters. Even the obnoxious ones. I would love it if my guy friends gave her work a chance, but they don't because it's "girly". Nonsense. Those books could easily appeal to both sexes if one of them would just give them a chance.

You could try sending them over to read Ta-Nehisi Coates (http://www.theatlantic.com/ta-nehisi-coates/) over at the Atlantic. He's a manly man, and he started reading Austen this year and fell wildly in love. He refers to her as "Jane Awesome," and compares some of what she's doing, artistically, to what rappers do. It's just the sort of thing to make a reader understand that Real Men Read Jane Austen.

He is adorable when he talks about Austen, as well as being typically smart and interesting -- he's so open in his utter delight at discovering her work. Here's (http://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2011/03/she-eats-writers-like-part-of-a-complete-breakfast/72095/) the post where he compares her work with Golden Age hip-hop -- that is, there may well be others, but this is the one I remember most clearly from earlier in the year.
