Description
Is Masculinity Toxic? A Primer for the 21st Century by Andrew Smiler This timely book explores the complexities of masculinity in the modern world. As the MeToo movement and growing activism around men's rights and feminism continue to shape our understanding of traditional manhood, Smiler examines the myths surrounding modern masculinity and asks whether we need to change our attitudes towards it. The book delves into four key areas: the evolution of ideas about masculinity, the societal impacts of "toxic" masculinity, men and interpersonal relationships, and the changing face of masculinity today. Smiler revisits all sides of the debate, acknowledging both the positive and negative aspects of different models of masculinity.
