Review title: Please, Mr. Kivel, stay away from my son
Product review: I'm steering a middle course between the extremes representedhere.I don't hold with the 'you have to fight to be a man' school,but I'm certainly not on board with Kivel's "there are no inherent differences between boys and girls, only societally programmed differences." I managed to get through the book with difficulty; his obvious distaste for any school of thought which presupposes some behaviors as innately masculine stuck in my throat.I was a boy, my son is a boy - he's not the way I was at his age, and that's fine by me. He likes to run and yell and make messes - but he also likes chess and math and playing the saxophone. I don't try to smother his behaviors based on whether or not they meet a predetermined template - either Iron John's or Mr. Kivel's. The curious thing is, Kivel is just as dogmatic about what constitutes 'acceptable' behavior as James Dobson - a comparison which would no doubt dismay both men.
