內容簡介 What is masculinity?When someone tells a man to be a man, they mean that there is a way to be a man. A man is not just a thing to be--it is also a way to be, a path to follow and a way to walk.People are talking about "the end of men," "the decline of males," and the so-called "crisis of masculinity." There are many diagnoses for the troubles men face today, but the chattering class is short on solutions. They refuse to deal honestly with the differences between men and women, and fail to entertain the possibility that their vision of the future offers little of value to average males.The Way of Men answers the question "What is masculinity?"Donovan concludes that The Way of Men is the way of the primal survival gang. The simple, amoral, tactical virtues of the gang define our most basic conception of manliness. The "crisis of masculinity" is really a timeless push-and-pull between masculinity and civilization. The world has changed more than men have, and the security and luxury of modernity have put us conflict with our own natures. The path back to honor for men may be through a new dark age.
