"Our world conditions boys into entitlement, privilege and power at the expense not just of girls' humanity but also of their own. Here, Clementine Ford demolishes the age-old assumption that superiority and aggression are natural realms for boys and demonstrates how toxic masculinity creates a disturbingly limited and potentially dangerous idea of what it is to be a man. Boys Will Be Boys reveals how the patriarchy we live in is as harmful to boys and men as it is to women and girls, and asks what we have to do to reverse that damage. The world needs to change and this book shows the way."-- back cover. (less)
