XY: On Masculine Identity
Sign in to keep track of books you’ve read and want to read.
Examining changing role models for masculine identity—from cowboy in the 1950s to Terminator in the 1990s, from flesh-and-blood man to machine—this book suggests that men need new role models and that sufficient room needs to be left for the expression of male vulnerability, a psychic space that would accept attitudes and behaviors traditionally labeled as "feminine." This new model, Badinter argues, may reduce the profound effects of homophobia and misogyny.
