Overview

This is a frank and original analysis of patriarchy by men from all walks of life, living on three continents. Starting with the basic assumption that the breakdown of the patriarchal system is a good and necessary step towards creating a better society, the contributors examine the origins of male domination, the institutions that perpetuate it, and its manifestations in the thoughts and lives of men. A male feminist perspective is offered on a broad range of issues - from fatherhood to the organization of the workplace, homosexuality, the political structure, and the male role in advertising, sports, and film. Written by men living in Canada, the United States, Britain, France, and Australia, and coming from a wide variety of backgrounds - from anthropology to physics- the articles here make an important contribution to feminism. Students taking courses in women's studies, sociologists, all those interested in feminism.
