Review # 1 was written on 2020-07-01 00:00:00 Jeremy Helbing Glad I read this. It is a bit out of date, she might elicit different material from (young) men nowadays, I think. She makes it clear throughout that she's keeping the focus onto one thing for as you go along a thousand related questions and tangents arise. It's very accessibly written. I read it in one or two sittings. With age, time and professional experience I had been gaining ever more insight into the crushing cage of societal meaning that men are forced to live within but struggled and lacked confidence to express this. Formaini does this clearly and well, she unveils, in stages, the tragedy of being a man. That's it really. Would certainly recommend any woman to read it.

Review # 2 was written on 2014-05-11 00:00:00 William Vanderven This book is definitely worth a read for anyone who thinks women are "hard to understand" or any of those old clichés. It shows how men avoid the analytical gaze by positing women as dark or unknowable (essentially exoticising them). This was written wuite a long time ago but is still worth reading
