This book looks at the many issues men are facing in this current society. It also looks back into the patterns of the past that caused us to be where we are today. There are several key factors listed in the book that explains why males appear to be off track in understanding and achieving their defined roles as men of today. Boys are not being properly trained in order to become healthy and productive males in this new changed society. Where females seem to be improving and flourishing, males appear to be spiraling downward. Men were born to become the natural leaders and to be the heads of the human family, but with the new changes in the laws and customs of the land, men are not quite sure about their current position as it relates to the new female positions. The law is on the side of equality and equal access, but that is not what men were accustomed to over all the previous years. Males must adjust to this new female model and find their own sense of purpose and fulfillment.
