I love that just because feminism has gotten a great deal more press in the past 40 years, that means somehow it's in vogue and avant garde to go "hey, you know what would be wild? NOT LETTING BOYS PLAY WITH DOLLS."
Masculinity was an endangered state and must be defended against ‘girl’ at all costs. Boyhood was undeniable, but it was also a delicate flower. Nature, it seemed, needed to be nurtured into existence

When will people stop believing this kind of woolly claptrap?
Argh! I thought I'd have a look at Amazon to see what people's response to this book have been, but it is very depressing. It seems to have a sales ranking of 124 (in the books department, anyway), and most of the reviews are overwhelmingly positive. Even the negative ones often simply complain that the content of the book is 'common sense', so that they don't feel they've really learnt anything new from it - I could only find three out of a total of 39 which saw it as sexist clap-trap.
