kspenmoll Well, I was the 2nd class of women in a Jesuit college & had upper class men & some professors angry we were there. I was totally unprepared for coming from a coed high school. Needless to say it was a radicalizing experience when I went to grad school 30 years later, it was quite different. 18h
AlaSkaat About 7 years ago I decided to take on a Carpentry course in College. I loved to build when I was a child. I thought it well suited. I was 1 of 3 girls in my class and what seemed like the whole place. 1 girl left soon after starting, 1 girl had a very tomboy attitude which I think was partly to try & fit into the space more. The amount of times I was ‘hit on‘ or made sexual jokes that were ‘funny‘ was crazy. > 6h
AlaSkaat < I was looked on like I just woke up one morning and was bored so decided to take on this course. Rather than gaining experience like the rest of them. It was definitely a very uncomfortable experience. Every day walking inside felt like I should just run back out. I did eventually. And I regret not getting my pass because of missing the last few classes and tests because I felt like a fraud. 5h

A must for any man or boy!

From the perspective of a man living in the Western world, I recognize that initiation rites into maturity (for males and females) are essentially non-existent. Society has forfeited its role to government and the result has been none to kind. We do not have mentors, there is no great wisdom being passed down from one generation to another, but thankfully we do have a few select books that can at least point the way.

This is a tenderly funny look at a bunch of middle aged men who gather each year to reenact the football game where Joe Theismann‘s thigh was snapped. Bachelder did a great job of giving each man a distinct personality in a very short space. I rarely read a book that gives a group of men such emotional depth. #roll100

Ruthiella I loved this book and I don‘t even understand football as a game. 😂 6mo

Megabooks @Ruthiella I‘m not a football fan either, and it was just so good! 6mo

Why Men Lie and Women Cry | Allan Pease, Barbara Pease

Note: You can never fool a woman. They‘re just way too smart and plus, they have 5 sensors in their heads whereas men only have 3 (the kinds used to detect lies and read voice and facial modulations). Go figure.

Yes. To summarize the book in one quote, "....but in the heart of every man is a desperate desire for a battle to fight, an adventure to live, and a beauty to rescue." I couldn't agree more. This is my second time through this book. It hit home this time through in ways it didn't the first time. Men, read this.

I've read this before. I think it will be different this time. Real men are needed at this point in history. Men with character and heart.

Desha I‘ve read his wife‘s book called Captivating. It was very encouraging…my small group read and discussed it and grew a lot from it! Looking forward to your review of his book! 9mo
