The relation between feminism and men is often presumed to be antagonistic, so that men are expected to resist feminism, and feminists are assumed to hate men. That pattern of opposition is disrupted, however, by the continually increasing numbers of men who are participating in feminist theory and practice, trying to integrate feminist perspectives into their scholarship, teaching, work, play, friendships, and romantic involvements. Responses to this male feminism have varied.
Men Doing Feminism (Thinking Gender) Reviews
-
Somewhat variable; a few of the articles were excessively philosophical (in particular one which was more or less ‘psychoanalytic’ I found completely useless) but others had useful insights. Overall worthwhile reading.
