HTML:<b>The former NFL quarterback examines the roots of masculinity gone awry and how it promotes violence against women.</b><br /> In <i>You Throw Like a Girl</i>, former Syracuse University quarterback and NFL veteran Don McPherson examines how the narrow definition of masculinity adversely impacts women and creates many "blind spots" that hinder the healthy development of men. Dissecting the strict set of beliefs and behaviors that underpin our understanding of masculinity, he contends that <i>we don't raise boys to be men, we raise them</i> not <i>to be women</i>.<br /> Using examples from his own life, including his storied football career, McPherson passionately argues that viewing violence against women as a "women's issue" not just ignores men's culpability but conflates the toxicity of men's violence with being male. In <i>You Throw Like a Girl</i>, McPherson leads us beyond the blind spots and toward solutions, analyzing how we can engage men in a sustained dialogue, with a new set of terms that are aspirational and more accurately representative of the emotional wholeness of men.<br /> <b>"One of the most important books ever written by a former elite male athlete." —Jackson Katz, author of <i>The Macho Paradox</i></b><br /> <b>"An essential exploration of what's holding men and sports back—and how to overcome it." —<i>The Washington Post</i></b><br /> <b>"Don McPherson is a quarterback for a wider community." —<i>Newsday</i></b><br /> <b>"A crucial read for anyone interested in learning more about how sports culture informs limited definitions of masculinity, and how such definitions are destructive for boys and men, and dangerous to girls and women." —<i>The Undefeated</i> (A Can't Miss Book of 2019)</b>.
