Shifting gender roles and mixed cultural messages have left many guys confused about their place in society—and where they fit in your life.
“When I tell guys I’ve written a book about the future of men, lots of them say, ‘Wait, you mean we have a future?’ Their responses are meant as a joke, but they offer insight into how marginalised many guys in their 20s and 30s feel these days.
