Summary of Rollo Tomassi's The Rational Male

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The importance of fathers is a love-hate relationship in our feminine-primary social order. On the one hand, many people lament the lack of fathers’ involvement in their kids’ lives, especially boys’ lives. On the other hand, many people hate the buffoon, bumbling Dad who is always out of touch with the mainstream. #2 When it comes to Father’s Day, most men receive a mixed message. While they are expected to be fathers, their masculinity is constantly being devalued and debased, and they’re expected to just get over it. #3 As with all men, fathers are caught in the same Masculine Catch 22. They’re expected to be good dads, but they’re also expected to be good men, and being a good man is not enough to make up for the fact that being a good dad is expected of them. #4 Fathers are crucial to a child’s life, but they are also seen as superfluous when it comes to raising them. The Feminine Imperative views fathers as a threat to its authority, while society at large believes that fathers are not necessary for children.
