Based partly on the author's experience, partly on her in-depth interviews, and partly on a questionnaire she developed with psychologist Holly Barrett to which almost 600 women responded, Father Loss provides the clearest portrait yet of a very special group of women. As a group, they express their insecurities ("Sometimes I wonder if I'll ever be able to love a man totally...because that would mean I didn't love my father anymore." - Leslie).

Patpong, in the heart of Bangkok, teems with bars and sex shows, catering mainly to farangs - foreigners. Cleo Odzer, a young anthropologist, spent three years studying the area. Gaining the confidence of the bar girls and bar boys, she interviewed them at length, lived among them, accompanied several back to their families in remote villages. She also got to know their customers, those in for a night or in forever (many fell in love and stayed on in Patpong). From Odzer's account emerges a far different picture from the cliched image of the prostitute.

As women, we're expected to be sexy, but not sexual. We're bombarded with conflicting, shame-inducing, and disempowering messages about sex, instead of being encouraged to connect with our true sexual selves. Sexy gets reduced to a performance, leaving us with little to no space to reckon with the complexities of sexuality. In a culture intent on telling you who and how to be, standing in your truth is revolutionary.

When Nancy Friday began her research for My Mother/My Self in the early 1970s no work existed that explored the unique interaction between mother and daughter. Today psychotherapists throughout the world acknowledge that if women are to be able to love without possessing, to find work that fulfills them, and to discover their full sexuality, they must first acknowledge their identity as separate from their mother’s. Nancy Friday’s book played a major role in that acceptance.

Every man is born with just one thing: his sovereignty - his power to respond to his environment and his circumstances. Unfortunately, most men have spent much of their lives giving away that sovereignty. Every time a man passes blame or shirks his responsibility, every time he makes excuses for his performance, and every time he trades his unlimited potential for a little perceived safety and security, he willingly submits himself to the mercy of others.

Muslim men are stereotyped as either oversexed Casanovas willing to die for 72 virgins in heaven or controlling, big-bearded husbands ready to rampage at the hint of dishonor. The truth is, there are millions of Muslim men trying to figure out the complicated terrain of love, sex, and relationships just like any other American man. In Salaam, Love, Ayesha Mattu and Nura Maznavi provide a space for American Muslim men to speak openly about their romantic lives, offering frank, funny, and insightful glimpses into their hearts—and bedrooms.

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.

Michael Nast, seit seinem Nr.-1-Bestseller das Sprachrohr für die Generation Beziehungsunfähig, hat neue Nachrichten für seine Leserschaft: Den Traumpartner unserer Vorstellungen, der unseren mannigfaltigen Anforderungen entspricht, gibt es nicht! Die Gründe für das ständige Scheitern unserer Dates und Beziehungen sind unsere falschen Idealvorstellungen, gepaart mit dem eigenen Selbstoptimierungswahn und unserer Darstellungswut in den sozialen Medien. Dem Ganzen setzt die Oberflächlichkeit und Unverbindlichkeit der heutigen Dating-Apps Tinder und Co. dann noch die Krone auf.

Heike Kleen hält Gleichberechtigung für essenziell, sich selbst aber nicht gerade für eine Vorzeigefeministin. Sie fragt sich: Wieso stecke ich in der Teilzeitfalle? Wieso lächle ich auch dann, wenn mir nicht danach zumute ist? Und wieso rate ich meinem Sohn "Hau zurück!", nachdem der sich hat vermöbeln lassen, obwohl ich toxische Männlichkeit ablehne? Wie Heike Kleen geht es vielen: Der Wille zum Feminismus ist da, wenn da nur nicht - neben der strukturellen Benachteiligung - die Fallstricke des Alltags wären. Was tun?

The intersection of motherhood and creative life is explored in these writings on mothering that turn the spotlight from the child to the mother herself.

Da sempre la rabbia ha una cattiva fama, è considerata un'emozione sgradevole e deprecabile. In generale, quindi, tendiamo a provare nei suoi confronti una certa paura e a non concederle spazio, che si tratti della nostra o di quella altrui. Questo vale in particolare per le donne: di fatto, una donna che esprime liberamente la propria rabbia viene definita stizzosa, isterica o eccessivamente drammatica. Per questo, le donne più degli uomini hanno la tendenza a rimuoverla e a nasconderla, in primis a se stesse, dietro il volto dell'amarezza, della delusione, del dolore.

The Me Too movement, started by Black feminist Tarana Burke in 2006, went viral as a hashtag 11 years later after a tweet by White actor Alyssa Milano. Mainstream movements like #MeToo have often built on and coopted the work of women of color, while refusing to learn from them or center their concerns. Far too often, the message is not "Me, Too" but "Me, Not You". Me, Not You argues that the mainstream movement against sexual violence expresses a political whiteness that both reflects its demographics and limits its revolutionary potential.
