The Myth of Male Power

"The Myth of Male Power" challenges the idea that men hold absolute societal dominance. It argues that men often face significant disadvantages, such as higher rates of workplace hazards, being more likely to be drafted for military service, and facing societal expectations that can limit their emotional expression. The book suggests that these realities are often overlooked or dismissed, and that recognizing men's challenges is important for genuine gender equality. In essence, it emphasizes that societal power is complex and that addressing gender issues requires understanding both men's and women's experiences.
