Real Boys: Rescuing Our Sons from the Myths of Boyhood is a 1998 nonfiction book about boyhood and boy culture by clinical psychologist Dr William S. Pollack, in which the author asserts that toxic conceptions of masculinity in boy culture leads to boys doing poorly in education and health and having higher involvement in violent crimes and suicide than girls.
Pollack devoted more than 20 years to researching the material presented in the book.
