The book itself it a hack-job hit piece on men, and Ben Sixsmith's review – which is what's linked – is a great takedown of Plank's "work."
If anyone is interested in further reading regarding actual masculinity and what men face today, here's a small reading list:
I may even make a separate post for this because it's very important to me. I am in the middle of researching and writing a book that, I hope, does what Plank's drivel claimed to do. The materials here are just a few selections I've come across in my research. Maybe I can elaborate more on my work if I make a more comprehensive 'recommended reading' post re: masculinity. I'd love to see more discussion around this as I believe it's exactly the kind of thing to tackle in a community like this.
I would love some sort of reading discussion or book club on relevant books, articles, research, aimed at helping to parent with the values of inclusion, diversity and equality. There’s a lot of outdated “advice” and “wisdom” that is out there in the form of parenting advice books. I have found it challenging to find resources that align with the kind of post-toxic masculinity, pro-feminism values that speak to me and that I see discussed on r/MensLib. With my kid quickly reaching the end of the toddler age, it almost feels like being a first-time parent again with all the new things to figure out. Just as I finally have mastered everything there was to raising a baby and toddler, and now there’s this kid in the house who is strong, and loving, but has opinions and a fierce will, and I don't know how to nurture that yet.
There's a book called Boy Crisis that I heard a talk about at my UU church, and I’ve been meaning to read it. Might be a good start, although it doesn’t seem like light reading!
