koby 's review for:
The Man They Wanted Me to Be: Toxic Masculinity and a Crisis of Our Own Making
by Jared Yates Sexton
Sexton doesn't offer answers to the problem of toxic masculinity. Instead, he delves into the personal and the worldly causes and effects. The book is, at times, heart wrenching, especially when Sexton shares about his complicated relationship with his father. It's also well researched and deeply thoughtful as he makes sense of the role of toxic masculinity in his life and society. It certainly gave me a better understanding and empathy for how this plays out for men, and it is a stark reminder that this is something we need to address as a society.
