In Manhood Impossible, Scott Melzer argues that boys' and men's
bodies and breadwinner status are the two primary sites for their
expression of control. Controlling selves and others, and resisting
being dominated and controlled is most connected to men's bodies
and work. However, no man can live up to these culturally ascendant
ideals of manhood. The strategies men use to manage unmet
expectations often prove toxic, not only for men themselves, but
also for other men, women, and society. Melzer strategically
explores the lives of four groups of adult men struggling with
contemporary body and breadwinner ideals. These case studies
uncover men's struggles to achieve and maintain manhood, and
redefine what it means to be a man.
