More memoir than about masculinity as a whole. Interesting parallels with his boxing journey.

Something of note - I thought it would focus a lot more on spirituality/spiritual activism and how it can either tie into white supremacy (WS) when ~down wrong~ and how it can be used against W.S. But was moreso centered on white supremacy and fighting against it (with a bit of spirituality sprinkled in). 
Also, I could NOT get past the usage of “women+“ and “men+”. I get what the intention was, but is definitely missing the mark and accidentally placing trans+ people into unhelpful or completely incorrect groups. As the author mentioned, they’ll fuck up and probably said something wrong and this was definitely that. Better, informed terminology would help get readers (specifically trans+ readers) through the book in a less painful way.
