Rethinking Masculinity: Philosophical Explorations in Light of Feminism

"Rethinking Masculinity" brings together 14 essays, many published here for the first time, by male philosophers sympathetic to feminism. Together, they approach the variety of experiences of being a male in Western culture in an attempt to provide reasonable analyses of what is wrong with the traditional model of masculinity and to offer plausible suggestions for change that will redefine the roles men can play as nurturers, as intimates, and as partners in today's world.
