Excerpt:
...It's breathtakingly naive to think that therapy alone would be enough to redress the larger systemic forces behind a problem like toxic masculinity. But this hasn't stoppeda whole plethora of personalized remedies from getting pitched to men as a tonic - a new memberhsip to CrossFit, a cathartic jaunt to Burning Man, a weekend retreat in the woods to recover his "deep masculine." "Popular accounts of the male crisis and male confusion," Faludi writes,
"are unrelievedly ahistorical. The conditions under which men live aereignored and men themselves are reduced to a perennial Everyman . . . How would men's problems be perceived, though, if we were to consider men as the subjects of the world, not just its authors?"
