As progressivism changes American society, and globalism shifts labor away from traditional manufacturing, the roles that have been prescribed to men since the Industrial Revolution have been rendered as obsolete. Sexton examines how we teach boys what's expected of men in America, and the long term effects of that socialization which include depression, suicide, misogyny, and, ultimately, shorter lives. He also discusses establishment of the racist patriarchal structure which has favored white men, and investigates the personal and societal dangers of such outdated definitions of manhood. adapted from jacket
