Merovius reviewed Man Up by Carlos Andres Gomez
A good step on an ongoing journey
A very frank and open first-person account of the kinds of pressure the patriarchy puts on men and the damages this can do to them and others. If you heard and are irritated by the term "toxic masculinity", this is an absolute reading recommendation - because what the author talks about in this book is exactly what is meant by it.
I think this book can serve as an important first step in building a positive male identity, by first deconstructing the existing damaging one.
