Rebel Book Club Vancouver x MANOSPHERE
About this Event
About the book:
Reeves, a Brookings scholar turned founder of the American Institute for Boys and Men, makes the data-driven case that boys and men are falling behind in education, work, and family life, and that progressive politics has been slow to take it seriously. Far from a backlash book, it's a carefully argued plea for a both/and approach: we can care about women and girls and care about boys and men. Reeves brings the rigour of an economist and the warmth of a dad of three sons.
Why we chose it: "A landmark book... Reeves shows that the problems facing boys and men are real, serious, and worth our attention." - Jonathan Haidt
Inspired by our monthly non-fiction reads, our mix of part cocktail party, part creative classroom is a recipe that builds your reading habit while connecting with like minded people.

Your hosts for the evening
Paige Eager
Paige joined Rebel Book Club in London in July 2018. She loves how RBC encourages her to explore new subjects and perspectives she might not have discovered otherwise.
After moving across the pond and missing the events and connections she made with fellow RBC'ers, she wanted to recreate that experience in vibrant Vancouver.
Top RBC Reads:
- Bad Blood, by John Carreyrou
- Life 3.0, by Max Tegmark
- In Extremis: The Life of War Correspondent Marie Colvin, by Lindsey Hilsum
Amirali Sharifian
Amirali is a programming language designer for AI computers. Having made Vancouver his home, he found himself missing a like-minded community—one that thrives on curiosity, deep conversations, and a shared passion for learning. Rebel Book Club offers just that, and Amirali is excited to help grow a space where diverse perspectives come together to challenge ideas and expand horizons.
Amirali's nonfiction recommendations:
- The User Illusion: Cutting Consciousness Down to Size, by "Tor Nørretranders"
- Factfulness, by Hans Rosling
