Thanks, though there's something excessively tempting about finding a book for thirty dollars when most places offer it for about $80. Weirdly, Walmart offers it for $35.
Aside from that, I think Russ and Daley are on to something there. I also believe that "masculinity" is a scam--it's a fantasy invented and to a large extent maintained by a minority of the more aggressive men. It doesn't necessarily have much to do with real-world men.
Well, actually, quite a bit of gender policing is also done by women. I'm not sure how all the pieces fit together, but it's not just a system for the convenience of (some) men.
