Masculinity: Identity, Conflict, and Transformation 1 review Warren Steinberg
Shambhala, 2001
shallow
This book was highly disappointing. Except for a fascinating second chapter, the rest of the story is one of shallowness. You wonder if this guy is really a Jungian or not.
The second chapter is about male to male competition, and the author uses some evidence that is truly fascinating. He ...

A Stiff Drink & Close Shave OP 2 reviews S. Guarnaccia, R. Sloan
Chronicle Books, 1995
Step by step instructions on how to be a man
This is the book that explains clearly what a man was supposed to be, back when being a man meant more than just an identification of gender. A book that Archie Bunker, George Jefferson and Robert Young could all agree on.

Quite good. The negative reviews tend to follow the same pattern: men are the root of all evil; women are the source of all that is good, peaceful, just, and virtuous (and pigs can fly!!!).
The negative reviewers, some of whom display their hatred for males in repeated reviews, need to develop ...
