Chapters examine the ways in which American men and maleness are punished in childhood; in school; in history texts; in language; in the wallet; in religion; and even in recreation. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAlthough the book's tone is often light, the subject is a serious one that the mainstream media often avoids. \u003ci\u003eThe Politics of American Feminism\u003c\/i\u003e debunks dated myths, defends individual liberty against feminist assaults, offers an impious take on the narrow focus of the women's movement, and has as a central premise that not only are men essential to the health of the nation and the survival of the species, but they also have a few salutary qualities as well.","brand":"University Press of America","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47612116500631,"sku":"9780761837831","price":5340.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780761837831.webp?v=1775074998","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-politics-of-american-feminism-gender-conflict-in-contemporary-society-9780761837831","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
