No One Taught Me How to Be a Man

“Kearns recounts his transition into masculinity with candor and authenticity, revealing the complexities hidden in our assumptions about what masculinity is and is not, while also asking poignant questions along the way. At once an inquiry into traditional notions of cisgender masculinity, a roadmap for change, and an analysis of how we might be able to inhabit healthier, more inclusive masculinities, No One Taught Me How to Be a Man shows us that if destructive notions of manhood can be learned, they can also be unlearned--if we're willing to do the work.”
