The Bro Code: The Fallout of Raising Boys to Objectify and Subordinate Women
Autor Thomas Keithen Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 dec 2020
Beginning in childhood, the book provides a critical framework to understand one form of masculinity referred to as "bro culture," and how it is reproduced and reinforced through popular culture, social institutions, and patriarchal forms of religion and politics. Weaving together current research with illuminating historical and contemporary examples, Thomas Keith unpacks the attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors that constitute this subculture and reveals the ways in which traditional and outdated codes of manhood, power, and gender relations have evolved into problematic forms of sexism, misogyny, and abuse. For as much as popular culture is revealed to be a contributing factor in the passage of bro codes, the book also includes examples of cultural forces that are challenging and seeking to overthrow the core tenets in powerful and lasting ways.
Timely and thought-provoking, The Bro Code addresses the implications of an enduring social problem and moves us to reflect on ways to empower men away from this toxic form of masculinity.

Recenzii
Thomas Keith possesses keen insight and a precise and illuminating lens when examining men and masculinities in the 21st century. He helps readers understand how antiquated codes and tropes of masculinity have grown old and even toxic to men’s humanity and that of others. The radiant illumination provides an opportunity for individual men and the culture of masculinity to change, evolve and become better versions of themselves.
