How the Script for Masculinity Turned Toxic--and How to Fix It
     "Why Can't We Hate Men?" asks a
headline in the Washington Post. A trendy hashtag is #KillAllMen.
Books are sold titled I Hate Men, No Good Men, and Are Men
Necessary? How did an ideology arise that condemns masculinity as
dangerous and destructive? Â Â Â Â Â
Bestselling author Nancy Pearcey has a knack for tackling the tough
issues of our day. A former agnostic, Pearcey was hailed in The
Economist as "America's pre-eminent evangelical Protestant female
intellectual." In this book, she takes readers on a fascinating
romp through American history to discover how the secular script
for masculinity turned toxic--and what action we can take to fix
it. Â Â Â Â We often hear that Exhibit A of
toxic behavior is evangelical Christian men. But the social
sciences tell a very different story. Studies find that family men
who attend church regularly test out as the most loving husbands
and the most engaged fathers. They have the lowest rate of divorce
and--here's the real stunner--the lowest rate of domestic violence
of any group in America. Â Â Â Â Â The
sociological facts explode anti-male stereotypes and show
that classic Christianity has the power to overcome toxic behavior
and reconcile the sexes. That's a finding that has stood up to
rigorous empirical testing. This book will equip thinkers and
activists to challenge politically correct ideology and bring an
evidence-based message of healing into the public square.
