Real Boys: Rescuing Our Sons from the Myths of Boyhood is a 1998 book about boyhood and boy culture by William S. Pollack,[1] who asserts that toxic conceptions of masculinity in boy culture leads to boys doing poorly in education and health and having higher involvement in violent crimes and suicide than girls.
Pollack devoted more than 20 years to researching the material presented in the book.[2]
Reviews
A Toronto District School Board review of the book says: "Pollack's groundbreaking book has become the academic bible that the new boys' movement was launched from."[1]
Christina Hoff Sommers says in her book The War Against Boys: "The most popular book calling for the rescue of boys from the constraints of a harmful masculinity is William Pollack, Real Boys".
