Review # 1 was written on 2014-05-19 00:00:00 Rosalie Burdett Comprehensive book detailing theories of masculinity from essentialism v. social constructionism, Freud, sociobiology, humanistic and existential. The book details how the behavior of men is socially constructed and if a man tries to deviate outside of the norms they are punished, often severely.Feminists argue that there should not be a study of men due to the patriarchal society we live in and the years of male dominance. Interesting that the groups do not work together to achieve freedom for all but still conflict. Interesting chapters included men and violence, men and physical health, relationships with others and mental health. Opened up my eyes to a few topics and solidified others. Written as a textbook and cites tons of studies and scientists to back up conclusions.

Review # 2 was written on 2015-03-31 00:00:00 Ilari Aro This book is important for several reasons,among which is that it's a reference for every young man aspiring to know more about the "species"to which we belong.The author,to add,indicates some of the gender-based stereotypes,what society expects from men regardless of our individual differences.Men are expected to be task-oriented,they are supposed to hide their own fears and weaknesses..At the end of the day,men are human beings, with typical human follies...What is important is to overcome fear and worry, whether u r a male or a female..
