Acerca de este título

 From New York Times bestselling author, feminist pioneer, and cultural icon bell hooks, an evergreen treatise on how patriarchy and toxic masculinity hurts us all.

Feminist writing did not tell us about the deep inner misery of men.

Everyone needs to love and be loved—including men. But to know love, men must be able to look at the ways in which patriarchal culture keeps them from understanding themselves. In The Will to Change, bell hooks provides a compassionate guide for men of all ages and identities to understand how to be in touch with their feelings, and how to express versus repress the emotions that are a fundamental part of who we are.

With trademark candor and fierce intelligence, hooks addresses the most common concerns of men, such as fear of intimacy and loss of their patriarchal place in society, in new and challenging ways. The Will to Change “creates space for men to acknowledge their traumas and heal—not only for their sake, but for the sake of everyone in their lives” (BuzzFeed). Antropología Ciencias sociales

As a 41-year-old father born and raised in the UK, I found this book profoundly out of touch with the reality of modern manhood. I suspect its popularity on social media stems more from digestible "sound bites" than from the actual substance of its arguments.

1. Lack of Empirical Grounding
For readers who value logic, data, or scientific rigor, this book will be a disappointment. The author relies heavily on ungrounded anecdotes and "lite" external references, stitching them together to create a veneer of credibility. While the prose flows in a way that makes you feel like you are learning, there is very little actionable substance.

2. A Dangerous Generalization of Men
The most concerning aspect of the book is its portrayal of men. Hooks frequently conflates "masculinity" with "violence" as if they are a single, inseparable concept. While her discussions on the trauma caused by violence have merit, the book lacks any nuance regarding the protective or constructive uses of strength. Furthermore, it ignores the statistical progress made in recent decades regarding domestic safety and emotional intelligence.

3. A Cultural and Generational Mismatch
I simply do not recognize the men or women described in these pages. The book is loaded with horrifyingly negative descriptions of male intentions that are unrecognizable to my own upbringing and social circles. Whether this is due to a generational gap or a cultural divide between the author’s background and my own, the result is a text that feels more like a caricature than a critique.

I would not recommend this book to anyone. By painting men with such a broad, negative brush, it creates a dangerous perception that hinders genuine progress rather than helping it.

Dangerous book
