A great read, the subtitle of the softcover better sums up the contents: A reckoning with gender, identity and masculinity. I think it walks the line between philosophical and practical really well and it feels like a good jumping off point for having better conversations about disliking the worst parts of men while encouraging men to be better in a non-vilifying way.

Some interesting reflections on masculinity and gender, but too much boxing:) I did enjoy this book, but wasn't blown away.

Thomas Page mcBee thank you for your work.
I've had to put this one down. Sixty pages in and I still don't know where the author's getting his ideas about gender from (several are quite foreign to me), which means I have no context to help me make sense of the questions about masculinity that he's asking in each chapter. Worse, due to my confusion, I'm getting more and more frustrated with his habit of speaking in generalisations that don't make sense to me.
That said, it had some beautiful moments, and I'm not surprised that it has so many positive reviews and seems to have resonated with so many people. It just doesn't do it for me, unfortunately.
