The male suicides: how social perfectionism kills
The demonization of all things male has had a pernicious effect on boys and men over the last 20 years. I've seen it negatively impact friends and, worse, my own boys. Oone of the best things I ever did was cut the live TV feed and the commercials that only show men as drunken idiots, drunken leches, or bumbling idiots (notice: drunken and idiots is a repeating theme).As a society, we need to come to terms with masculinity. That means men need to be able to be masculine without being domineering and without being castigated.
