I understand so much more about my own life and relationships after reading this. I think I need to read this again! ( ) Aquesta obra de Bell Hooks ens convida a reflexionar sobre el paper dels homes contra el patriarcat. A com els homes han d'escoltar i afrontar els seus sentiments envers el tracte que reben les dones en la nostra societat. Una mirada feminista que proposa que sense els homes no es podrà superar l'opressió masclista. This book is important for us all to read regardless of gender. In it, Hooks describes not only the pain of many men in America but also the pain reflected in American culture. The glorification of the dominate has skewed our whole outlook as a country. This is the difference between defense and "Preemptive war." Domination isn't on the path to anywhere worth going. I hope that we will stop and realize the pain that we currently insist on pushing away. That every one of us is culpable for the damage we have done through war, neglect, irresponsible support (weapon sales)and outright badness. We must accept our culpability in the planet-wide destruction of a life-giving world. We must all accept culpability for the cry of boys and men who were lied to about what life actually is. We must teach that love equals life. Love makes the products of pain drain away both literally and figuratively. Love creates both walls and bridges. We all are damaged and we all have damaged but that can be changed with a push for openness and by denying any solution that destroys in any way. I found the answer to my questions about my marriage and my confused attempt to raise my sons to be men who can give and receive love. I now feel like I have a road to travel regardless its signs of travelers. By acknowledging my sons' pain and by supporting their ability to love themselves and others, I can see a future where my sons will be able to love others and me. Hooks artfully and courageously challenges paradigms of masculinity because of her love for men. I appreciate her careful deconstruction of the toxic effect of the dominating structures of patriarchy and her clarion call for men to mourn and grieve their role as violent oppressors and grow into living into a love that nurtures and fosters vulnerability. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

HTML:From the New York Times bestselling author of All About Love, a brave and astonishing work that challenges patriarchal culture and encourages men to reclaim the best part of themselves. Everyone needs to love and be lovedâ??even men. But to know love, men must be able to look at the ways that patriarchal culture keeps them from knowing themselves, from being in touch with their feelings, from loving. In The Will to Change, bell hooks gets to the heart of the matter and shows men how to express the emotions that are a fundamental part of who they areâ??whatever their age, marital status, ethnicity, or sexual orientation. But toxic masculinity punishes those fundamental emotions, and it's so deeply ingrained in our society that it's hard for men to not complyâ??but hooks wants to help change that. With trademark candor and fierce intelligence, hooks addresses the most common concerns of men, such as fear of intimacy and loss of their patriarchal place in society, in new and challenging ways. She believes men can find the way to spiritual unity by getting back in touch with the emotionally open part of themselvesâ??and lay claim to the rich and rewarding inner lives that have historically been the exclusive provin Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
