In the book that rose out of that op-ed, "The Man They Wanted Me To Be: Toxic Masculinity and a Crisis of Our Own Making", Sexton (an occasional Salon contributor) dives deep into his personal history with working-class white American patriarchal culture, weaving memoir with historical and sociological research and cultural analysis to explore how the constructs of traditional masculinity harm not only women, children and vulnerable people but also the straight white working-class men these strictures are supposed to privilege.
这本书源于一篇专栏文章《他们希望我成为的那种人:直男癌和危机制造者》(The Man They Wanted Me To Be: Toxic Masculinity and a Crisis of Our Own Making),塞克斯顿(偶尔会为Salon杂志撰稿)深入描述了他的个人历史:美国白人工薪阶层家长制文化,编纂了有关历史和社会学研究以及文化分析的回忆录,从而探讨传统大男子主义不仅伤害女性、儿童以及弱势群体,而且也会伤害这些白人工薪阶层男子理应享受的限制特权。
His honest and heartbreaking account of never quite being able to shed the damaging gender demands he was raised with, along with the cultural and historical context that he provides, provides a blueprint for how men can confront the harm that toxic masculinity has brought them. I don't consider it critical hyperbole to say that a book like this can save lives.
在他成长的过程中,他一直被灌输这种有害的性别要求,他说他从未完全摆脱这种要求,他的诚实令人心碎。同时,在当时的文化和历史背景下,他提出了一个蓝图,帮助男性面对直男癌所带来的伤害。我可以毫不夸张的说,这样一本书可以拯救生命。
