This is essentially a long essay about the problems of the traditional expectation of being a man, both to society and to men as individuals and was very articulate and interesting (and readible); it's not a super scholarly work (though it mentions many articles and studies which are more so): it's aimed at a general reader. That's not a judgement on it, just a comment. I enjoyed it a great deal, and although it didn't really make me change my mind about men or maleness, probably because I came to it more or less agreeing already, it was interesting to read from a male perspective some of these things which are so in the news lately and in the public conscience. Granted, Perry is not a typical male person in many ways, but he's still a man and has a lot of interesting things to say.
