I want to recommend this book to anyone thinking about masculinity/feminity and gender roles, but I think that person would be disappointed. This is a book that has that conversation as an element, but I found it far more engaging as an exploration of friendship and intimacy. I've still yet to read anything by Le Guin that I haven't been stuck thinking about for days
