Synopsis

Boys Will Be Boys explores how to achieve true gender equality by addressing the roots of toxic masculinity. It tackles the crucial question of how to raise sons who respect women and contribute to a more equitable world. Clementine Ford argues that society conditions boys into harmful views of masculinity, leading to entitlement and aggression. The book reveals how patriarchy damages not only women and girls but also boys and men, offering a path forward for reversing this damage.
