Publisher's summary

Finding a way to connect with the masculine is something that is lacking within the world nowadays. Many men appear to be shackled by societal shame when it comes to being masculine; they are also layered with guilt if they display their birth given right to be masculine.

Over the last decade, boys and young men have been taught a lot of nonsense about what it means to be a man, they have been programmed to believe notions that honestly do not serve them as men, which has resulted in the soft, weak, and feminized men seen today in society.

RJ Derby’s Death of Manhood: The Societal Destruction of Masculinity is a short but direct audiobook, a call to men to start taking responsibility and begin moving away from the lies they have been fed by a society that seems set on destroying the true essence of a man.

If you’re a man looking to change yourself, if you’re a young man seeking a way to recognize your true potential as a man, if you’re a woman trying to find ways to better understand your husband, son, nephew, friend, then this powerful read is for you.

Loaded with insights and hard truths about the destruction of masculinity in modern society, RJ Derby’s Death of Manhood is an audiobook that should be read by every man.

“Becoming a masculine man and embracing masculinity is not a sin against anyone or anything, no matter what the naysayers may try to preach. It is the role of being a man, something that shouldn’t be ridiculed and hated, but also something that shouldn’t be glorified or praised or even worshipped. It should only always be expected, only this and nothing else. It is expected of women to embrace their femininity, and so it should be expected of men to embrace their masculinity without contempt and made to feel ashamed for doing what is natural. Men, real masculine men are now but a few in today’s world due to the overwhelming demands society has placed upon them and what it thinks men should amount to. It has left the remaining billions of men soft, weak, and fragile. If society continues it’s the annihilation of masculinity, sooner rather than later, we will all witness the destruction of civilization as we know it.” (RJ Derby).

I Don't Think I Should Pay Money For A Rant

I purchased the book because I needed a presentation of a very serious societal issue and some hope of a solution. But within these pages, there is no serious analysis of the problem. Neither are there clearly presented solutions, or examples, or data. Instead, this is an angry, profanity-laced rant complete with childish name calling that provides no substance to the argument. And perhaps my expectations were high, as the author admits at one point that his book is a rant. I would have even appreciated a serious call to action, but if there was one, I missed it.
