Critics Review
“A tender, intelligent meditation on why now, more than ever, men deserve more.”–Teen Vogue
“A near-forensically reported examination of modern masculinity and an urgent call to action.”–Vogue
”[A] timely, gimlet-eyed book about toxic masculinity. With sparkling wit and razor-sharp cultural criticism, Plank investigates toxic masculinity and the threat it poses not just to women, children, and society, but to the emotional wellbeing of men themselves.“–Esquire (“Best Fall Books of 2019”)
“A hopeful prescription.”–GQ
“Plank’s empathy and hope are palpable.”–Pop Sugar
”[A] compassionate and skillful social analysis. Plank’s thoughtful approach and ability to elicit emotional responses from men by engaging them about masculinity as a curious, compassionate outsider yield a well-rounded picture of what contemporary men are facing”–Publishers Weekly
“For the Love of Men offers a blueprint for men to examine themselves and how they think about gender.”–NPR
