Description
?Smith's book is a central guide for both men and women who are eager to understand navigating our modern world. The book offers great insights into men's needs and a perspective that is clear-eyed and useful for both genders.? ?Salena Zito, Washington Examiner
Men don't tell you what they really think, but they tell psychologist Helen Smith?and she tells you.
James Brown said that it's a man's world. That was then. Today, men are living in a female-centered society that shares and pervades their lives whether they realize it or not. Our modern culture views dating, marriage, and domestic life almost exclusively through women's eyes and voices; men are simply seen as objects that women can order or reject by swiping on a dating app. Men's needs and feelings are left out of the equation, or seen as downright undeserved. From the COVID Karens who scold those without masks to the den mothers who run society and the workplace, men are inundated with messages that the male point of view is unwelcome and unheard.
His Side brings previously silenced straight male perspectives to light with in-person interviews by psychologist and men's rights advocate Helen Smith, author of Men on Strike. These interviews are first-person accounts of how young, middle-aged, and older men experience dating apps, marriage, and work while living in a world that no longer values masculine traits and desires. It is a psychological and political look into the mind of the modern male?terrain that is rarely explored in our female-centered society.
