The Man They Wanted Me to Be: Toxic Masculinity and a Crisis of Our Own Making

byJared Yates Sexton

The Man They Wanted Me to Be examines toxic Masculinity and a Crisis of Our Own Making, combining Jared Yates Sexton's clear narrative with the perspective of a science narrative. The book builds its explanation through key episodes, competing interests, and the setting supplied by the wider field of social science. The result avoids a single easy lesson, emphasizing instead how circumstances, institutions, and individual choices interacted over time. The book ultimately clarifies what made these developments possible, who experienced their effects, and why the story remains significant.
