Product Information
This is the 21st anniversary edition of The Myth of Male Power. It is an update from the 1993 version and looks at what has changed since then.
It chronicles the survival of societies based on persuading its sons to be disposable in war and work, and therefore disposable as dads.
In the book, Dr. Warren Farrell challenges the notion that we live in a patriarchal world controlled by men to benefit them at the expense of women, but in reality is controlled by the need to survive.
Propelling the books increased attention are things such as:
- The changing dichotomies in society
- New college campus sexual assault laws that focus only on the woman’s experience
- New laws punishing bullying instead of constructive ways to redirect male energy
- Brain damage due to sporting activity concussions, particularly football
The book aims to lay the foundation towards love and appreciation between the sexes by redefining power as “control over one’s life” and the sacrifices made by both parents for their children.
