Katie Cosby's Reviews > Of Boys and Men: Why the Modern Male Is Struggling, Why It Matters, and What to Do About It

Whew boy. I really wanted to like this book. I went into it with an open mind. In general, I'm fairly moderate and can understand all sides of an argument. This book addresses fails to address how women are underreprestented in committing mass shootings and in sexual assault. It also failed to mention that men are overrepresented in Fortune 500 company CEO jobs (for the first time ever, women outnumber Fortune 500 CEOs named John), in government, and in leadership of companies and nations globally. Men literally created, and still control, the systems in which they are failing and falling behind. At the same time, they are passing regressive policies to literally keep women in the home and maintain their control of other peoples' bodies (legislating against trans people, moving to remove protections for LGBTQ+ marraige equality, etc etc etc). Women still do not have control over our own healthcare or reproduction in vast swaths of the US. Really hard to take this book seriously when it leaves out so many glaringly obvious things.
