Thomas McAdams

This book is very dated. It's based on the perspective of a feminist raised in the 1950's. The boomer era. While the precepts are valid for the time. Men have changed. Many boomers moved from the kind of thinking presented in the book. I truly doubt Gen Z or Gen A will identify with the concepts written. Men are stay at home fathers, single parents, and otherwise loving fathers these days. Not like generation the author grow up in. The book doesn't speak to this. It's stuck in the past and blames patriarchal culture for a man's inability to love. However, I think men are taught to be leaders of their families, and to confide in, and trust their partners before any family decisions are made. To be a good leader, a man must first love himself and know how to love. That's truly the bottom line. I don't think you can blame patriarchal culture for a man failing to meet that concept.
