>>24488743 (OP)It's a good book with a grounded perspective on what makes a man a man. It also made me realize that imbibing a lot of millennial truisms is, in some way, inherently anti-masculine.
>I have nothing to prove to you or anyone!See how far the line of thinking gets you in this book, according to Donovan's account of masculinity. Now, that's not to say that that kind of strong-willed independence is wrong, anti-masculine, etc., or that even that masculinity is good, or whatever the case may be. But, it gave me a lot of food for thought as a loner.
