Synopsis

Paul Nathanson and Katherine Young examine the portrayal of men in popular culture since the 1990s, arguing that pervasive negative stereotypes reflect and perpetuate societal hatred. This book, the first in a three-part series, presents extensive evidence from various media, including movies, television, and comics, to identify misandry as a significant cultural issue. The authors analyze this phenomenon in moral terms, critiquing both feminist and political ideologies while exploring its roots in historical Western thought.
