A book about the patriarchal society we have been living in for centuries and the detrimental effect it has had on women, and girls. Ford explains in a very upfront and straightforward way that this needs to change, especially when girls and women make the life-changing decision to bring rape charges against men. This book MUST be read by all men everywhere. Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing. I wish I could give this a higher rating.I don't disagree at all with the author's view that toxic masculinity and rape culture are BAD (oversimplifying, here); I just think her message could have been accomplished through more of an essay-length article rather than nearly 400 pages worth of driving the message home. How can a rational person not agree with her message? The part I didn't like is that although I had no idea who she was before reading this, apparently many people do and many of them have an ongoing beef with her. She uses this forum to call them out and showcase their behavior and actions time and time again. I think this tends to lessen the credibility of her message by making her seem vindictive rather than having a general desire to draw awareness to the main issues at hand. I won a copy of this book from LibraryThing. Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing. Extremely depressing, and very hard to read, but sadly filled with wise information. Basically it sucks to be a woman in this misogynist nightmare of world gone wrong. I did not enjoy reading the depressing statistics, and stories, but I appreciate the women who are out there fighting the good fight, and the men who are trying to learn. I'm not sure who to recommend this book for because it's not at all fun to read, but unfortunately, it is necessary information. Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing. (I received an ARC copy of this book through LibraryThing Early Reviewers and I am reviewing the book voluntarily.)I like to think of myself as a male ally to the feminist movement, knowing full well that I have my own biases that I need to address. This book takes on so many of the front and center debates in our society today from inequalities in the workplace to sexual assault and rape culture down to the way we talk about the gender of our fetuses. I was happy to feel challenged and to be given a number of topics to think about. Throughout the book Clementine Ford uses tongue-in-cheek, dark humor, and sarcasm. The language is not that of a scholarly article, but more of a feminist speaking to her people. Sometimes I wonder if books like this are making any difference, as the people who most need to change would never pick up the book and/or would not be willing to receive it's many perceptive insights. That being said, I know that I have taken something away from reading this book and will continue to dissect my own thoughts and words as a result of this book. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Fearless feminist heroine Clementine Ford is a beacon of hope and inspiration to hundreds of thousands of Australian women and girls. Her incendiary first book, Fight Like A Girl, is taking the world by storm, galvanising women to demand and fight for real equality and not merely the illusion of it. Now Boys Will Be Boys examines what needs to change for that equality to become a reality. It answers the question most asked of Clementine: 'How do I raise my son to respect women and give them equal space in the world? How do I make sure he's a supporter and not a perpetrator?' All boys start out innocent and tender, but by the time they are adolescents many of them will subscribe to a view of masculinity that is openly contemptuous of women and girls. Our world conditions boys into entitlement, privilege and power at the expense not just of girls' humanity but also of their own. 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. Crucially, 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. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
