About this listen
The incendiary new audiobook about toxic masculinity and misogyny from Clementine Ford, author of the best-selling feminist manifesto Fight Like a Girl.
Clementine Ford reports that one of the questions she is most asked in person and online is 'how do I raise my son to be a feminist? How do I make sure he's a supporter rather than a perpetrator?' That is a question that many parents with sons are haunted by. Now that Clem is mother to a baby boy of her own, it is a question that haunts her, too.
How does a feminist raise a son in a world that conditions boys into entitlement, privilege and power at the expense not just of girls' humanity but also their own? All boys start innocent, but by the time they are adolescents many of them will subscribe to a view of masculinity that is openly contemptuous of women and girls. This explosive new work will look at toxic masculinity and the closed ranks of brotherhood that shape an entitled, disrespectful and potentially dangerous idea of manhood.
In Boys Will Be Boys, best-selling and groundbreaking author of Fight Like a Girl Clementine Ford dismantles the age-old idea that entitlement, aggression and toxicity are natural realms for boys and reveals how the patriarchy we live in is as harmful to boys and men as it is to women and girls.

A must read for any man
A brilliant audio book that cuts to the heart of what is wrong with way woman are treated. Before listening to this, I thought I got feminism, and what woman experienced in life. I was pretty wrong. Clementine Ford pulls no punches when confronting toxic masculinity and how society allows it.

Everyone read this!
Everyone should read this book. It is an in-depth analysis of the horrid world we bring our children into. We have a lot of work to do to improve society for girls and boys. Let’s start doing the hard work now!

An outstanding book.
I enjoyed this thoroughly. Clementine reads in a down to earth, fun and superb manner.
I'm so glad she wrote this book, I will recommend it to everyone.
This made me feel less alone in the world, as did her other book, Fight Like A Girl.
My husband is also enjoying listening to these.

Amazing book
Really highlights how much women suffer under men, and that men need to take accountability

Clementine. Wow. Just wow.
Everyone should read/listen to this book. It’s shocking, thought provoking, really sad, realistic, messed up and brutally honest. The statistics are horrifying. But I feel a better, more informed woman for listening to it (my partner sometimes too). Listening to this book makes me angry, but this is a good thing- because it’s when we get angry, change happens.
