Title: Antifeminist ripoff of Reviving Ophelia
Review: As a minister to youth, I sat down with A Fine Young Man ready to be educated in how to understand the young men I work with and communicate back to them a sense of their own self-worth and integrity in a culture that sells all youth out in innumerable dangerous ways. Instead, I got a litany of the author's personal biases about what he perceives is the "feminist agenda" that wants to turn men into women, supported with scanty "scientific" evidence (I was a journalist once; I know how to manipulate poll results, too), compounded with a vague injunction to "do better" as mentors and parents. I was hoping for more case studies. I was hoping for more concrete suggestions about warning signs and counseling techniques. I was hoping for a non-political firsthand understanding of how our boys struggle to become men in a very confused culture. This book truly disappointed.
