[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Liz Plank just wrote a really great book about this, For the Love of Men: A New Vision for Mindful Masculinity. It rejects the term "toxic masculinity" in favor of "idealized masculinity" and is full of data. I highly recommend it.

Yes, what all American males need is for a female Vox columnist with a degree in women's studies to tell them how to be masculine.

There aren't enough eyerolls in the world for this idea, but this times infinity:

You didn’t read it, but you made a bunch of eye rolls.  Read it first.   It didn’t tell boys how to be masculine.  It documented a lot of the pressures boys face.  I’m raising a boy- I thought it was a good piece.  Not groundbreaking bc it mostly confirmed my existing suspicions, but I’m already aware of a lot of these issues.   If you are someone stomping your feet and talking about the liberal media, you will learn something.  It did not give any ideas about how to raise boys, actually.  [/quote]
