Boy Mum
BoyMum is about what it means to grow up male in an era when #MeToo has zeroed our tolerance for toxic masculinity, yet the pressure on young men to be 'masculine' has never been more intense. Written by a feminist mum of three sons, Boy Mum combines anecdotes and facts to examine the many pressures that young boys face and what is happening within male socialisation that leaves many boys lonely. Diving deep into everything from cancel culture to the manosphere, from screens to school, Whippman asks how we can give boys a life that is mentally and socially healthier than what they are faced with now.
