I read this one last summer. Maybe if you're like cishet man and are barely involved in feminism, this is a good book. Like, people need to start somewhere. Otherwise it is a pretty shallow book in a many ways. It tries to tackle a lot of aspects about masculinity, the writer not seeming to have expertise on, besides identifying as a man himself. He tries to be progressive but is far out of his league. It keeps showing.

Somewhere in the book he thinks Jordan B. Peterson, someone who has campaigned against better and more LGBTIA+ inclusive sex education, and allies with the conservative far-right groups, is a good person to think with.

So after this book, whoever thought it was insightful, has a lot of progress to make if they really want to take a critical look at masculinity or 'being a man'.
