Masculinity and Power

by Arthur Brittan

Political, domestic, and economic life is dominated by networks of powerful men. In Masculinity and Power Arthur Brittan analyses this state of affairs. He looks at the way in which biologists, psychologists and social scientists have attempted to explain masculinity and patriarchy in terms of simplistic models of human nature and social relationships.

What we need to do is to stop listening to our own propaganda. We really have to listen to what women say, and not what we think they should say.

This book was the one I have been finding for my research, and I am genuinely pleased that I had a chance to read this. I loved how the information was written and relate to the predicament of our society regarding masculinity, and the fact that the content is easy to understand.
