Guyness Deal With It

Deal with it body and soul

by Steve Pitt

illustrated by Steven Murray

This volume looks at issues relating to gender identity and how boys can deal with the conflicts that arise when boys fit -- or do not fit -- the masculinity mould.
As boys become men, pressure to fit into set images of masculinity can be overwhelming. And stereotypes about what makes a man a man can make the early stages of puberty -- the beginning of physical, emotional, and sexual maturity -- all the more confusing. This volume looks at issues relating to gender identity and how boys can deal with the conflicts that arise when boys fit -- or do not fit -- the masculinity mould.
