About this listen

"Why Can't We Hate Men?" asks a headline in the Washington Post. A trendy hashtag is #KillAllMen. Books are sold titled I Hate Men, The End of Men, and Are Men Necessary?

How did the idea arise that masculinity is dangerous and destructive? Bestselling author Nancy Pearcey leads you on a fascinating excursion through American history to discover why the script for masculinity turned toxic—and how to fix it.

Pearcey then turns to surprising findings from sociology. Religion is often cast as a cause of domestic abuse. But research shows that authentically committed Christian men test out as the most loving and engaged husbands and fathers. They have the lowest rates of divorce and domestic violence of any group in America.

Yes, domestic abuse is an urgent issue, and Pearcey does not mince words in addressing it. But the sociological facts explode the negative stereotypes and show that Christianity has the power to overcome toxic behavior in men and reconcile the sexes—an unexpected finding that has stood up to rigorous empirical testing.

I recently completed The Toxic War on Masculinity by Nancy R. Pearcey, and I found it to be a profoundly insightful contribution to the discourse on this subject. Pearcey adeptly anchors her thesis in a robust biblical foundation while seamlessly integrating historical and contemporary statistics to provide a compelling and well-rounded perspective on the current state of masculinity.

An important contribution

I’ve been involved in Men’s Ministry for around 15 years. Nancy Pearcey covers a lot of ground and is a book I really needed to read 40 years ago.

Much reflection!

While there is some good things in this book it is also very misleading.

The data used to back up ideas is misused.

Please listen to this podcast to see why this book has some serious problems.
