About the Book

with 10 comments

What if the biggest conspiracy in human history had gone completely unnoticed?

What if that conspiracy was responsible for some of the biggest problems the world faces today?

Wouldn’t you want to know? Wouldn’t you want to do something about it?

Well guess what: You can.

The Masculinity Conspiracy is a free online book about masculinity. It argues that nearly every assumption about masculinity in contemporary society is wrong. The result is nothing short of exposing a worldwide conspiracy that has been preventing humanity from reaching its fullest potential.

**Print ($12.95) and Kindle ($4.99) editions now available**

  2. Just a note… but another “conspiracy” of unimaginable importance is that everything we believe about children is also very, very “wrong.”

    When we figure these things out, humanity will be forever changed for the better!

    • Not at the moment. I’m hoping folks will use the main pages, as the existing conversation in the comments in some sections are just as interesting as the main text. Thanks for dropping by!

    • We had been avoiding any obvious jokes in these pictures (we thought about including the sign just out of shot which says “WRONG WAY” but decided against it): it was only after the fact that I noticed the “DARLING”, but it works quite nicely for the context, yes.

  5. Nicely written and humorously engaging.

    I’m particularly turned on by the idea of solutions to some of the problems you plan to identify, and wait with bated breath.

    An exquisitely clear synthesis of the status quo – one can’t but help agreeing with you (at this stage…), which is slightly irritating.

    Very promising.
