In a recent FiveThirtyEight poll, sixty percent of men surveyed said society puts pressure on men to behave in a way that is unhealthy or bad. Men account for eighty percent of suicides in the United States, and three in ten American men...

"California, Labor Day weekend . . . early, with ocean fog still in the streets, outlaw motorcyclists wearing chains, shades and greasy Levis roll out from damp garages, all-night diners and cast-off one-night pads in Frisco, Hollywood, Berdoo and East Oakland, heading for the Monterey peninsula, north of Big Sur. . . The Menace is loose again." Thus begins Hunter S. Thompson's vivid account of his experiences with California's most notorious motorcycle...

From “AskMen” senior editor and non-binary writer Alex Manley comes “The New Masculinity: A Roadmap for a 21st-Century Definition of Manhood”, a guide for escaping the shackles of toxic masculinity, unlearning what it means to be a man, and pushing back against the various ways masculinity teaches people to hurt rather than help, and to harm rather than heal. Manley charts a course for a wholly new future of the self that's neither particularly...

In Northern Love, Paul Nonnekes proposes a conception of love suggestive of a distinctive model of Canadian masculinity. He pursues debates in psychoanalysis and cultural theory in relation to two representative male characters in novels by Rudy Wiebe (A Discovery of Strangers) and Robert Kroetsch (The Man from the Creeks). Ranging from debates on the Hegelian master-slave dialectic to the Lacanian Name of the Father, and from Butler's strange gender...

We take for granted the idea that white, middle-class, straight masculinity connotes total control of emotions, emotional inexpressivity, and emotional isolation. That men repress their feelings as they seek their fortunes in the competitive worlds of business and politics seems to be a given. This collection of essays by prominent literary and cultural critics rethinks such commonly held views by addressing the history and politics of emotion in...

Between the late 1970s and the early 1980s, Nayra Atiya gathered the oral histories of five Egyptian men: a fisherman, an attorney, a scholar, a business- man, and a production manager. Through personal interviews over the course of several years, Atiya intimately captured the everyday triumphs and struggles of these young men in a rapidly changing Egyptian society. These tender stories of childhood experiences in the rural countryside, of the rigors...

It is no secret that men are in trouble today. From war to ecological collapse, most of the world's critical problems stem from a distorted masculinity out of control. Yet our culture rewards the very dysfunctions responsible for those problems. To Matthew Fox, our crucial task is to open our minds to a deeper understanding of the healthy masculine than we receive from our media, culture, and religions. Popular religion forces the punitive imagery...

Dr. Harvey Kaye, emeritus assistant clinical professor of Psychiatry at New York Medical College, has spent decades analyzing matters of gender and sexual orientation. He's seen modern men lured by the siren song of the "Masculine Mystique" and pressured to fulfill the "Dominance Drive" and the "Heroic Imperative." The result is The Affairs of Men, a wry view of the masculine wilderness.
Pressured by conflicting societal and familial standards, besieged...

What started as an internal whisper has become a steady rumble. It's getting louder, feeling heavier the more you try to ignore it. If you're a white man in America, you have a decision to make: become an agent of change or a victim of progress.
White men have found themselves entrenched in a privileged status quo for centuries. Old patterns and learned behaviors have contributed to their success, but things are changing; our world is evolving. We're...

Why do many Jamaican men acknowledge the importance of love, but also believe that men have the right to physically discipline their partners? How far does fathering become a journey of personal self-development? What happens to "outside children" when the father also has children at home? Why do fathers believe that they must toughen their sons? These are some of the questions which are carefully explored in this groundbreaking study of Jamaican...

Increasing numbers of people in our culture, particularly middle-aged men, are finding that the things they worked for over the past two decades are simply not providing the fulfillment they originally expected from them. We are coming to realize that our homes, vehicles, jobs and possessions are not sufficient to stave off the crisis of meaning many of us find when life does not meet our expectations. Sojourn reminds us that life is often messycomplex...

En Hombres solos - Ser varón en el siglo XXI, Horacio Vázquez-Rial analiza y disecciona los mitos en torno a la mujer y al hombre, a la vez que desmonta las teorías basadas en la diferencia de géneros. Consigue poner bajo sospecha las teorías que manejan, a modo de biblia y de manera inmovilista, sociólogos y feministas. "Que nadie se confunda: no estoy condenando el feminismo como tal.
Creer eso sería equivalente a creer que estoy a favor...

It's no secret that men often behave in mystifying ways, but in recent years we've witnessed so many spectacular public displays of male excess--indecent politicians, sleazy academics, philandering sports stars--that we're left to wonder whether something has come unwired in the collective male psyche. In the essays collected here, Kipnis revisits the archetypes of wayward masculinity that have captured her imagination over the years: the scumbag,...

"The catalog of masculine sins grows by the day--mansplaining, manspreading, toxic masculinity--reflecting our confusion over what it means to be a man.

No. Brad Miner invites you to discover the oldest and best model of manhood--the gentleman. In this tour de force of popular history and gentlemanly persuasion,...

Desde hace algunos años se habla, en el contexto del psicoanálisis, de cierta "feminización del mundo". La expresión es curiosa: retoma, por un lado, la llamada "estetización de la vida cotidiana", de la que algunos filósofos han hablado desde los 80 hasta nuestros días; pero también, por otro, agrega un matiz suplementario, referido a una cuestión de las posiciones sexuadas.
En sentido amplio, la concepción vulgar entiende esta expresión...
