Controlling selves and others, and resisting being dominated and controlled is most connected to men's bodies and work. However, no man can live up to these culturally ascendant ideals of manhood. The strategies men use to manage unmet expectations often prove toxic, not only for men themselves, but also for other men, women, and society. Melzer strategically explores the lives of four groups of adult men struggling with contemporary body and breadwinner ideals. These case studies uncover men's struggles to achieve and maintain manhood, and redefine what it means to be a man. 606 $aBody image 606 $aSex role 606 $aMasculinity 606 $aMen$xIdentity 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aBody image. 615 0$aSex role. 615 0$aMasculinity. 615 0$aMen$xIdentity. 676 $a155.3/32 700 $aMelzer$b Scott$01134670 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910552763903321 996 $aManhood Impossible$92803891 997 $aUNINA
