Boys Will Be Boys: Power, patriarchy and the toxic bonds of mateship [Paperback] Ford, Clementine

**Boys Will Be Boys: Power, patriarchy and the toxic bonds of mateship** by Clementine Ford is a fearless deep-dive into Australian masculinity that'll make you squirm, laugh, and probably text your mates about toxic behavior. Ford dissects how "boys will be boys" culture perpetuates violence, misogyny, and emotional stunted-ness, while exploring how patriarchy damages everyone—including men themselves.

This isn't your typical dry feminist theory. Ford's razor-sharp wit and unflinching honesty make heavy topics accessible, tackling everything from workplace harassment to domestic violence with intelligence and dark humor. Perfect for feminists, sociology students, anyone questioning gender norms, or blokes ready to examine their own behavior without getting defensive.

Ford, Australia's most provocative feminist voice, brings her trademark no-BS approach to this essential social commentary on gender, power dynamics, and Australian culture.

This preloved paperback from Patina Paperbacks is ready for its next thoughtful reader.
