You Throw Like A Girl: The Blind Spot of Masculinity Audiobook (Free)

In You Toss Like a Woman, former Syracuse University quarterback and NFL veteran Don McPherson examines the way the thin definition of masculinity adversely impacts women and creates many ‘blind spots’ that hinder the healthy advancement of men. Dissecting the rigid set of beliefs and actions that underpin our understanding of masculinity, he contends that we don’t raise guys to be males, we increase them never to be women.

Using examples from his personal existence, including his storied soccer career, McPherson passionately argues that looking at violence against women being a ‘women’s issue’ not just ignores men’s culpability but conflates the toxicity of men’s violence with being male. In You Throw Like a Woman, McPherson leads us beyond the blind places and toward solutions, examining how exactly we can engage men inside a suffered dialogue, with a new set of conditions that are aspirational and more accurately representative of the emotional wholeness of males.
