Toxic Childhood: How The
Modern World Is Damaging Our Children And What We Can Do About It, by Sue Palmer Sounds like a depressing topic and, to be honest, finding out what could be potentially damaging to our children can be quite scary.
But Somebody's Darling is a very
modern story about
toxic masculinity, betraying an anxiety about the fading of the traditional male archetype (for the frat pack, vulnerability is equated with weakness), combined with the vile backlash against new - wave feminism, which in the real
world we witness in the abuse apologist and the normalizing of misogyny.
