\"Why
Why do men suck<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I’m guessing something bad happened to you recently; I’m really sorry to hear that. Everyone sucks a little bit sometimes, and men are no exception to that for sure. I hope you find someone really great (or find out more about yourself in the process). *wall hugs*<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Alternate
Alternate Answers: men may particularly suck because 1) toxic masculinity teaches men to repress their feelings + refuse vulnerability, resulting in violence toward others 2) patriarchy and androcentrism mal-form men into distorted senses of their own power + authority over others, esp. women<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"Alternate
Alternate – Toxic Masculinity isn’t a thing and claiming it is harms men (& women for that matter) everywhere<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Here are a thousand books on the topic in O’Neill Library: bit.ly\/BC-books-masculinity<\/a>. I recommend, for those who doubt that there are forms of masculinity that are a problem, Men Explain Things to Me<\/em>, by Rebecca Solnit (O’Neill Library & Social Work Library HQ1155 .S667 2014). I recommend for those who would classify all forms of masculinity as a problem Niall Hanlon’s Masculinities, Care and Equality<\/em> (O’Neill Library BF692.5 .H36 2012)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Thanks
Thanks for the book recommendations on both sides of the topic, I’ll look into them. you rock answer wall!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You’re welcome! And thanks for the compliment (Blushing!) The way I roll is not so much seeing “both sides” as being aware that there are many, many perspectives. I contain multitudes. (Of books!)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
