Rezensionen

Thomas Keith possesses keen insight and a precise and illuminating lens when examining men and masculinities in the 21^st century. He helps readers understand how antiquated codes and tropes of masculinity have grown old and even toxic to men's humanity and that of others. The radiant illumination provides an opportunity for individual men and the culture of masculinity to change, evolve and become better versions of themselves.

Longtime anti-sexist activist and filmmaker Thomas Keith's trenchant and compassionate analysis of the harm that sexism does to both men and women is the latest in his significant contributions to the field. He educates and inspires and moves us to take action. We are so lucky to have him.

Jean Kilbourne, Author, Filmmaker and Activist

The Bro Code is an incredibly comprehensive and informed analysis of the many ways that our culture continues to indoctrinate young men with a set of misleading and misogynous ideas about manhood, gender and power. It's a must-read for anyone who wants to help these young men develop healthier, more inclusive, and more adaptive identities and behaviors for their lives in the 21st century.
