The Making of Anti-sexist Men (Male Orders) Book

The idea of the ``anti-sexist man'' is often treated with scorn by feminists and hesitantly by men. Based around interviews with eight men who have responded positively to feminist ideas, The Making of Anti-Sexist Men makes an important contribution to an understanding of the life experiences of anti-sexist men and helps reduce the isolation that many men feel when they choose to go against society's dominant expectations.The Making of Anti-Sexist Men also fills a major gap in the literature on mascuilinity, adding substantial empirical material to a field which, until now, has been largely dominated by theoretical discussion. The life stories contained in the book show how anti-sexist men differ from their chauvinist counterparts and at the same time deprecates the ``wild man'' tendency currently in vogue in some men's group circles.Read More
