Refusing to be a Man

Meer over het boek

The book presents a groundbreaking liberation theory for men that also aims to empower women through a series of 13 insightful essays. Stoltenberg challenges the notion of male sexual identity as a natural state, arguing it is a politically and ethically constructed concept rooted in injustice. His hopeful perspective emphasizes the possibility of rejecting and transforming traditional masculinity. A new introduction connects his ideas to the civil rights and radical feminist movements, while contrasting them with the anti-feminist sentiments of contemporary men's movements.
