Tackling men’s problems

THIS IS AN IMPORTANT BOOKabout how rich societies are failing to adapt to the breakdown of the old bread-winner-carer gender division - with many negative consequences, especially for non-elite men.

It is especially valuable coming from a self-consciously progressive, pro-feminist British man (writing mainly from a US perspective, having followed his wife’s career to America in 2012), who challenges many of the narratives of “toxic masculinity” and the tendency to see gender inequality only through a female lens.
