Männer, Männlichkeit und Liebe - Der Wille zur Veränderung

„Männer können nicht lieben, wenn ihnen die Kunst zu lieben nicht beigebracht wurde. Es ist nicht wahr, dass Männer sich nicht ändern wollen. Wahr ist, dass viele Männer Angst vor Veränderung haben.

I was surprised by how little there was for me in this. It doesn't seem like a truly transcendental idea that men are also people who are harmed by patriarchy? I didn't feel like hooks had much to say about that, and mostly repeated herself: men have feelings and needs they can't express & explore under patriarchy, this paucity of outlets hurts men and others who relate to them, anecdotes illustrating this point and then a few recaps. Maybe I've just already done a fair bit of thinking about men and masculinity, so the core thesis of this document didn't need to inspire much new thought for me?
