The magazine sought to explore questions of masculinity from a standpoint which was sympathetic to the feminist critique of male power. Its aim was to make public collective explorations of men's emotional and sexual lives and relationships. This collection focuses upon issues of childhood, sexualities and sexual identities, violence in its different dimensions, men's health, relationships and therapy. The book also includes an introductory essay by the editor which examines how the relationship of sexuality should be related to power as part of a movement for change. Wide-ranging and stimulating, the essays present readers with an agenda of subjects for debate and research. The contributors call upon men to confront the repressed aspects of their emotional involvement with others. This collection is of interest to students of gender studies, sexuality and sexual politics. |
