What it is about

I did not want Masculinity, Gender, and Culture to remain language I only repeat when it sounds intelligent. The Descent of Man gives Grayson Perry a place on the shelf, and gives me a reason to sit with the way power reaches private life and makes some people disappear from the default story for longer.

Why I keep it

Masculinity taken apart by an artist in a dress. Fair and funny.
