Boys Will Be Boys - Power, Patriarchy and Toxic Masculinity

'The most important thing you'll read this year' Elle
The incendiary new book about toxic masculinity and misogyny from Clementine Ford, author of the bestselling feminist manifesto, Fight Like A Girl.
Boys Will Be Boys answers the question Clementine Ford is most often asked: 'How do I raise my son to respect women?'
With equal parts passion and humour, Ford reveals how patriarchal society is as destructive for men as it is for women, creating a dangerously limited idea of what it is to be a man. She traces the way gender norms creep into the home from early childhood, through popular culture or the division of housework and shines a light on what needs to change for equality to become a reality.
