“So I grew up feeling somehow that men just are, while women have to work at it.”

this book was an interesting examination of masculinity but surprisingly was only exploring men and women even though the author was very open throughout about being gender non-conforming. it would’ve been great if more than two genders were discussed and the book was a little less dry but overall it was thought-provoking.

Do you notice the symbolism? The colors we chose are yin and yang. They represent beginnings—including Christenings and weddings—and endings, such as funerals. Black and white also are opponents in a chess game. Fitting, given what will occur shortly.

OH. MY. GOD.
This book.
What a ride.
