You throw like a girl

the blind spot of masculinity
2019
". . . former Syracuse University quarterback and NFL veteran Don McPherson examines how the narrow definition of masculinity adversely impacts women and creates many 'blind spots' that hinder the healthy development of men Dissecting the strict set of beliefs and behaviors that underpin our understandingof masculinity, he contends that we don't raise boys to be men, we raise them not to be women. Using examples from his own life, including his storied football career, McPherson passionately argues that viewing violence against women as a'women's issue' not just ignores men's culpability but conflates the toxicity of men's violence with being male . . . McPherson leads us beyond the blind spots and toward solutions, analyzing how we can engage men in a sustained dialogue, with a new set of terms that are aspirational and more accurately representative of the emotional wholeness of men"--Provided by publisher.
