One of Reeves’ major strengths in this book is how well he exposes the negatively-trending roles of men in education, in the workforce, and in the family. In education, boys—beginning in middle school—are under-performing women by a large margin. For instance, just 40% of college graduates are men. He attributes the discrepancy, in large part, to b...
In the second section of the book, Reeves examines how intersectionality informs the conversation. First, he engages the social categorization of race—particularly as it pertains to black boys and men. He presents evidence for why they are at a greater disadvantage than other groups of men due to various factors, such as persistent income inequalit...
In his chapter “Making Men,” Reeves addresses the biological facts of manhood, as well as how those facts relate to the current cultural views. He moves from the issues men are having to the “raw material” of what men are, and how we should be willing to examine both the biology and social aspects of who we are and how they intertwine. He starts by...
The fourth section of the book addresses the political influences on the conversation. While it’s clear Reeves has a bias, he galvanizes his audience by making an ally and an enemy out of them.

By Richard V Reeves. Swift Press 352pp £20. These are confusing times for boys and men. On the one hand, they stand accused of unjustly possessing all kinds of power – social, political, physical and economic. The ‘patriarchy’ is often invoked as a sweeping shorthand to describe the apparently ineradicable oppression of women by men.
