This original analysis of patriarchy by men from all walks of life, living on three different continents, advocates the breakdown of the patriarchal system in order to create a better society for both men and women. The contributors, including Michael S. Kimmel, Robin Wood, and Seymour Kleinberg, as well as the editor Michael Kaufman, examine the origins of male domination, the institutions that perpetuate it--such as the nuclear family, the organization of working life, our conceptions of science, the prohibitions on homosexuality, sports, advertising, films, and political structures--and its manifestations in the thoughts and lives of men. Addressing the fears men have of living in a non-sexist, non-patriarchal society, they discuss how men often confuse "maleness" (biological sex) with "masculinity" (gender). Written by men living in Canada, the U.S., France, England, and Australia, and working in fields ranging from anthropology to physics, these articles offer an important contribution to feminism from a new perspective.
