Summary of bell hooks's The Will To Change - E-book - ePub

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The female hunger for male love is so intense that it is tearing women apart. Women are starving for love, but they are afraid to speak about it for fear of being mocked, pitied, or shamed. #2 Men are longing for love, but they are afraid to admit it. The truth is that men are suffering, and they want to be delivered from the lie of masculinity. #3 Men are also hurt and unable to express their pain, which leads to them becoming emotionally numb.
They are not just hurting, but the entire culture responds to their pain by saying, Please do not tell us what you feel. #4 Men are afraid to express their feelings, especially love, because it might reveal their emotional vulnerability. Women, on the other hand, are afraid to hear men's feelings because they might be accused of failing at being a strong woman.
