The Myth of Male Power (book)

"The Myth of Male Power" by Warren Farrell explores the societal perception of male dominance and power dynamics. Farrell argues that while men are often seen as the primary beneficiaries of power, they also face unique struggles and pressures, such as expectations to be the providers and to conform to traditional notions of masculinity. He contends that this myth oversimplifies gender issues, neglecting the challenges men encounter and encouraging a more nuanced understanding of gender roles. Ultimately, Farrell calls for a reevaluation of how we perceive power, gender, and their impact on individuals and society.
