Place reservation for BoyMum : raising boys in an age of toxic masculinityEvidence of male entitlement and aggression is all around us-from school shooters to incels, campus rapists to the online 'manosphere'. In an absolutist climate of culture wars, Ruth Whippman, feminist writer and mother of three boys, can sometimes find herself conflicted and defensive, as though stranded on one side of a symbolic divide with her own children on the other. But as she comes to realise, gender politics aren't simple. Male privilege and male vulnerability coexist in a complex relationship, and raising boys who can challenge the confines of masculine expectations is more important now than ever.
