"Challenging and readable...will help mothers understand the implications of pushing boys out of the family before they're ready to go."—The Los Angeles Times Book Review...

Revised and updated to include current studies, politics, and discussions, The Macho Paradox is the first book to show how violence against women is a male issue as well as a female one - and how we can come together to stop it. Written by pioneering anti-violence educator Jackson Katz, The Macho Paradox incorporates the voices and experiences of women and men who have confronted the problem from all angles, the discussions surrounding currents events in politics and pop culture, and where the violence is ignored or encouraged in our upbringing.

It’s hard to overestimate the importance of the family, and that of fathers in particular. We’ve heard it said, “As the family goes, so goes the nation.” But it can also be said that “as the father goes, so goes the family.” Consequently, Voddie Baucham has set out to teach men how to faithfully shepherd their families. Derived from Baucham’s monthly meetings with men in his church, Family Shepherds calls men to accountability for their God-given responsibilities in their homes.

By one reading, things look pretty good for Americans today: The country is richer than ever before, and the unemployment rate is down by half since the Great Recession. But a closer look shows that something is going seriously wrong. This is the collapse of work - especially among America's men. Political economist Nicholas Eberstadt shows that while "unemployment" has gone down, America's work rate is also lower today than a generation ago - and that the work rate for US men has been spiraling downward for half a century.

This audiobook narrated by Katherine Fenton gives a sweeping account of male nurturing, explaining how and why men are biologically transformed when they care for babies.

In Men’s Work, ManTalks founder Connor Beaton offers the tactical, self-led guide men have been looking for. Here, he destigmatizes inner work by reframing it as a kind of psychological warrior training that many men can relate to and have been craving. Beaton walks you through a framework for facing the hidden and rejected aspects of yourself—factors that lead to self-sabotage, anxiety, and depression.

From AskMen senior editor and non-binary writer Alex Manley comes The New Masculinity: A Roadmap for a 21st-Century Definition of Manhood, a guide for escaping the shackles of toxic masculinity, unlearning what it means to be a man, and pushing back against the various ways masculinity teaches people to hurt rather than help, and to harm rather than heal. Manley charts a course for a wholly new future of the self that’s neither particularly manly nor particularly masculine, but responsive, invested, and caring.

Analyzing the meanings of masculinity in contemporary culture, this book examines specific cultural male icons like Mohammad Ali, Harvey Keitel, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Dan Quayle, and Newt Gingrich and explodes the male stereotypes such as the cowboy, the father, the homosexual, and the Black terror.

Unterschätzen Sie nie einen Mann, der (k)einen Plan hat. "It's a Man's World", sang einst James Brown und die Verhältnisse waren klar geregelt. Doch das ist lange vorbei und die Gewissheit, dass Männer die Welt bewegen, ebenso. An den Mann von heute werden vielfältige Anforderungen herangetragen: Er soll Kinder erziehen (geschlechtsneutral), sich bewusst ernähren (vegan), kochen können, auf seine Figur achten, handwerklich geschickt sein, stark sein, schwach sein, Komplimente machen (keine sexistischen!) und nach Möglichkeit wissen, wer Sophie Passmann ist.

Das können nur Männer verstehen. Sind Sie einer der "Lonesome Cowboys", von denen andere nur erahnen können, was in ihnen vorgeht? Spricht Ihr Mann selten über sich? Mannsein stellt heute besondere Anforderungen, vieles ist im Umbruch. Gesellschaftlicher Druck wächst ebenso wie der innere Anspruch vieler Männer an sich selbst. Viele Männer fühlen sich allein gelassen, sind unzufrieden und wollen in ihrem Leben etwas verändern, wissen aber nicht wie und vertrauen sich niemandem an.

Gewalt, Unfälle, Sucht, Diskriminierung, Hate Speech und Extremismus – Männer dominieren die Statistiken des Abgrunds: Sie verursachen doppelt so viele Verkehrsunfälle, begehen mit Abstand die meisten Straftaten und belegen deshalb auch 94 Prozent der deutschen Gefängnisse. 75 Prozent der Alkoholtoten jedes Jahr sind männlich und mehr als 80 Prozent der häuslichen Gewalt geht von Männern aus.

Wie geht das, Mann sein heute? Männer sind die Geisterfahrer der modernen Gesellschaft: Der Feminismus stellt sie als Mängelwesen dar - "toxische Männlichkeit" ist zu einem Kampfbegriff geworden. Und die vermeintlichen Übeltäter? Passen sich geschmeidig an oder aber: fühlen sich überrollt von einer Logik, die ihre männliche Identität als zerstörerisch brandmarkt.

Against all evidence to the contrary, American men have come to believe that the world is tilted - economically, socially, politically - against them. A majority of men across the political spectrum feel that they face some amount of discrimination because of their sex. The authors of Gender Threat look at what reasoning lies behind their belief and how they respond to it.
