if you're a man insecure or unsure about his masculinity like many men are nowadays, then yes.

It's not just about how modern men are wimps, it's about how our masculinity is largely stunted by the consumerist society that surrounds us. Man. But it really does argue it succinctly. There's a very memorable quote about idolising movie stars and rock gods, and the stuff about Ikea is pretty topical.
