Is it true that `a real man' has `a big penis and a lot of money?' Here is a new framework for understanding who men are and where they are taking society (a framework that replaces the outdated Freudian interpretation of standard masculinity). Based on her years of study of male sexual identity - including how boys grow up sexually - this work presents Hite's latest reflections and conclusions about masculinity, offering a new blueprint of `who we are,' a fresh prism through which to see what is going on globally. The great value of this book is the fact that it charts a new way for seeing men and masculinity, based on research with over 10,000 men, something that has been needed for a long time. It's exciting to read, hopeful, and demonstrates how social change can happen.
