You throw like a girl : the blind spot of masculinity / Don McPherson. by McPherson, Don, author. Brooklyn, New York : Edge of Sports, 2019 Description:  231 pages ; 23 cm Contents:  Chapter 1 Black Man with Privilege p. 25 -- Chapter 2 Twenty-Nine p. 52 -- Chapter 3 Hyperbole and Myth p. 75 -- Chapter 4 Be a Man p. 100 -- Chapter 5 You Throw Like a Girl p. 121 -- Chapter 6 A Men's Issue p. 140 -- Chapter 7 Traditions of Silence p. 166 -- Chapter 8 The "Streets" in the Pocket p. 188. Summary:  "In You Throw Like a Girl, former Syracuse University quarterback and NFL veteran Don McPherson examines how the narrow definition of masculinity adversely impacts women and creates many 'blind spots' that hinder the healthy development of men. Dissecting the strict set of beliefs and behaviors that underpin our understanding of masculinity, he contends that we don't raise boys to be men, we raise them not to be women. Using examples from his own life, including his storied football career, McPherson passionately argues that viewing violence against women as a 'women's issue' not just ignores men's culpability but conflates the toxicity of men's violence with being male. In You Throw Like a Girl, McPherson leads us beyond the blind spots and toward solutions, analyzing how we can engage men in a sustained dialogue, with a new set of terms that are aspirational and more accurately representative of the emotional wholeness of men."--Dust jacket flap.
