As a young man, this book offered so much perspective into so many things. Whether it be the impact the males/females in my life had on my masculinity or the influence society had on my masculinity, this book provided me the hows and whys it happened. More importantly, it provided me the fixes. Honestly feel l’m a better man, a better lover, and overall a better person after experience this book

Her works is one of the best that I have ever read. I love watching her public dialogues with other scholars/writers. Her work is so great, that I want to keep her writings and knowledge as a secret. Loll. ( I do spread the awareness of bell hooks and encourage people to watch and listen on YouTube and read-about) I love her saying of: "white supremacist, capitalist, patriarchy" and I like to use that slogan every time I am having a conversation about class, race, gender and sexuality. I think her work should be required reading for every student in college and school.

This is an amazing book to read for anyone that wants to better understand the men in their lives, as well as themselves, if they are too a man. Based on feminism coming from a patriarchy stand point to better help solve the problem rathe than dismiss men into being categorized as heartless beings, when in fact, they, too, need love.
