Aidan reviewed Unbecoming men
Review of 'Unbecoming men' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
This “pamphlet,” as the authors call it, contains valuable first-hand accounts of the early modern men’s movement happening in parallel to second-wave feminism. Like second-wave feminism, it suffers from a lack of diversity (they admit this outright). But in context, it’s a fascinating and meaningful read. We essentially get a look into these men’s diaries as they use feminist ideas and male-consciousness raising to help explain their past and present as well as to predict the future. Anyone interested in feminist literature or masculinity studies will surely enjoy this quick read
