A breath of fresh air for a change
To those who think that Robert Bly had something going, but somehow got it all wrong; to those who have trouble getting in touch with their, "feminine side" but are not about to degenerate into redneck imbecility; and to those who just like a good story that will evoke many memories, this book is a pleasant surprise. Told from the point of view of a philosophy...

This review is from: Boys Will Be Men: Masculinity In Troubled Times (Audio Cassette)
To those who think that Robert Bly had something going, but somehow got it all wrong; to those who have trouble getting in touch with their, "feminine side" but are not about to degenerate into redneck imbecility; and to those who just like a good story that will evoke many memories, this book is a pleasant surprise. Told from the point of view of a philosophy teacher at an all boys' prep school, it makes telling points, which are both politically incorrect and thoughtful.

This review is from: Boys Will Be Men: Masculinity in Troubled Times (Paperback)
The stories told in the chapter, "Actual Boys" are well-written and interesting; however, the beginning chapters are, in my opinion, useless. The author switches from topic to topic, introducing them, but giving no details or drawing any conclusion. He never brings them back up so one ends up wondering what the point really was in introducing them. He says that other's male ideas are wrong, but never states his own. If you get through these chapters you will be rewarded with nice stories. My advice: skip the substandard introduction and go right to the stories.
