From men:
[Manhood] has given me the first inkling in my life of what
it is to be an integrated, self-respecting man.
My mate sent a copy to his two brothers who never contact him.
One rang the next day and wanted to talk and thank him for sending
the book.
It finally gave me the courage to approach my father and mother,
and sort things out ... I feel lighter, happier, freer, healthier,
emotionally and physically.
At last someone has been able to state clearly what is happening
inside our hearts.
I can honestly say your book was the most important I've ever
read.
It's 6 am. I couldn't sleep, and got up at 3.30 and finished Manhood.
What a blast !
Manhood is a wonderful book. It made me cry. It crystallised and
explained so many things.
I finished reading your book, and went to where my little daughter
and wife were playing in the living room. I got down and cried
on my wife's chest, the first time I have cried for many years.
From women:
What brought tears to my eyes was the fact that a man had written
it. I hope the Men's Movement will turn the tide for all of us.
It would be true to say that Manhood has transformed how I see
my husband and father. It moved me to tears many times. It has
brought us closer than ever.
I felt it uncovered the deep longings all of us have for some
kind of balance, purpose, meaning to our living and loving.
I have watched my husband struggling for so many years. Now I
feel there is a way forward for him, and he has begun his rejuvenation.
I treasure your words and insight. I feel more compassion towards
my husband and clearer about my son's needs.
I don't know if this letter can possibly convey how I feel.
As a committed feminist, I welcome this book.
