BOYS’ SECRETS AND MEN’S LOVES

This book explores David A.J. Richards’ own experience of how the initiation of boys into patriarchy inflicts trauma leading them mindlessly to accept patriarchal codes of masculinity. It discusses how through the arts and philosophy and experience, including mutual love, he and others (straight and gay men) come to join women in resisting patriarchy, through the discovery of how deeply it harms men as well as women.
