Of Boys and Men

I thought this author had some interesting perspectives and i'm glad I read it. I've read [b:Invisible Women: Data Bias in a World Designed for Men 41104077 Invisible Women Data Bias in a World Designed for Men Caroline Criado Pérez https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1617113740l/41104077.SY75.jpg 64218580] and this author doesn't cover anything to this level of inequality. I feel like this author misses the mark on a lot of issues too. He talked about women excel in school and careers...and I couldn't help but think if that would really be that bad for women to start running things? I look at the presidents and still not a single woman (maybe soon...) so sometimes I feel unsympathetic towards this book at times. I do feel like men need support and need to redefine the narrow views of masculinity. (Like maybe including LGBT topics that can also impact men? idk) I felt like this book was also a bit narrow in scope, but it was a short book.

This book is excellent and should be more wildly read, by everybody. You don't have to agree on the solutions (and I certainly disagree with Reeves on a couple) but it's hard to disagree on the problem and this book will get your mind working. Reeves breaks down the issues that are facing men in the present and future (and by extension, women...did you know we all live in the same world?!) without getting bogged down in political ideology (Reeves does a great job at explaining why X viewpoint from one side is good, why Y is hurtful, and then does the same thing for the other side) and without neglecting or just paying lip service to the feminist movement. The way we learn and get better as a society is by acknowledging problems and working towards solutions, and I think this book makes a compelling case.
