Men are struggling in the labour market because of an economic shift away from traditionally male jobs. And fathers are dislocated because the cultural role of family provider has been hollowed out. The male malaise is not the result of a mass psychological breakdown, but of deep structural challenges.\nStructural challenges require structural solutions, and this is what Richard V. Reeves proposes in Of Boys and Men – starting boys at school a year later than girls; getting more men into caring professions; rethinking the role of fatherhood outside of a nuclear family context.\nFeminism has done a huge amount of good in the world. We now need its corollary – a positive vision of masculinity that is compatible with gender equality.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1800751036\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1800751036.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Reeves, Richard V.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
