The author of The People Are Going to Rise Upon Your Shore turns his keen eye to our current crisis of masculinity using his upbringing in a rural, patriarchal home as an entry point to consider the personal and societal dangers of performative gender
Based on his provocative and popular New York Times op-ed, The Man They Wanted Me to Be is both memoir and cultural analysis. Jared Yates Sexton alternates between an examination of his working class upbringing and historical, psychological, and sociological sources that examine the genesis of toxic masculinity and its consequences for society.
As progressivism changes American society, and globalism shifts labor away from traditional manufacturing, the roles that have been prescribed to men since the Industrial Revolution have been rendered as obsolete. Donald Trump’s campaign successfully leveraged male resentment and entitlement, and now, with Trump as president and the rise of the #MeToo movement, it’s clearer than ever what a problem performative masculinity is.
Deeply personal and thoroughly researched, The Man They Wanted Me to Be examines how we teach boys what’s expected of men in America, and the long term effects of that socialization—which include depression, suicide, misogyny, and, ultimately, shorter lives. Sexton turns his keen eye to the establishment of the racist patriarchal structure which has favored white men, and investigates the personal and societal dangers of such outdated definitions of manhood.

No such thing as toxic masculinity, there is only toxic immaturity.

@chrisxiii - True. And toxic immaturity comes in both genders. There are old people who have never matured.

There is toxic masculinity and toxic feminism too.
I have seen over and over how the left is trying to make men less masculine and more feminine. In many of the blue states men are now becoming feminists. Funny as hell but true, it seems the new liberalism is how to be become less of a man and more of a women. Pretty messed up. I understand how some men can be pretty brutal to women, but that is not the way to turn men into soys.

There’s no such thing as toxic masculinity.
And while we’re at it :
- Only men are men.
- Only women are women.
Thank you, and good night ;)
