About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

It would be easy to write a feminist polemic denouncing men. This is not that book.

Something is definitely up with men. From millions who follow Jordan Peterson to the #MeToo backlash, from men's rights activists and incels to spiralling suicide rates, it's easy to see that, while men still rule the world, masculinity is in crisis.

How can men and women live together in a world where capitalism and consumerism has replaced the values - family, religion, service and honour - that used to give our lives meaning? Feminism has gone some way towards dismantling the patriarchy, but how can we hold on to the best aspects of our metaphorical Father?

With illuminating writing from an original, big-picture perspective, Nina Power unlocks the secrets hidden in our culture to enable men and women to practice playfulness and forgiveness and reach a true mutual understanding and a lifetime of love.

Graceful and Thoughtful

As a millennial male who’s endured some of the modern travails of today’s heterosexual hellscape, I was greatly moved by Nina’s message: the diffuse vilification of an entire sex (casually or otherwise) should be seen as alarming, and possibly a moral failing of our society. Whatever the case may be, we should set our aim at revivifying the divine dance between the sexes.

Splendid,joyful,insightful essay

In this essay, the author attempts to bridge the gap of misunderstanding between men and women. In the process of exploring the conflicts that be set modern relationships between men and women, the author offers many keen insights with an understated sense of humor that is utterly delightful. I strongly recommend.

A long awaited gem

If you want to read something critical, in depth, and balanced, then Power's analysis of the male situation today is a must.
