Description
What Do Men Want? Masculinity and Its Discontents by Nina Power explores the current state of masculinity, from the rise of the manosphere to the #metoo backlash, and its impact on society. The author examines how capitalism and consumerism have replaced traditional values, leading to a crisis of meaning and purpose.
Power argues that feminism has made significant progress in dismantling the patriarchy, but that men and women need to find new ways to live together in a world that values individualism and self-expression. With a big-picture perspective, the book offers insights into the secrets hidden in our culture, enabling readers to cultivate playfulness, forgiveness, and mutual understanding.
This thought-provoking book invites readers to consider the complexities of masculinity and its relationship to feminism, offering a fresh and original perspective on a pressing social issue.
