The Masculinity Conspiracy: Chapter 2 now online
Submitted by Anonymous on Sat, 2010-06-05 03:01
The Masculinity Conspiracy is a free online book about masculinity. Chapter 2 (History) is now online: http://masculinityconspiracy.com
This chapter examines how the theme of history is mobilized in the conspiracy via two books: Manliness by Harvey Mansfield, and Sex, Ecology, Spirituality: The Spirit of Evolution by Ken Wilber.
I show how these books promote a masculinity of fixed characteristics that is biologically determined and bound by history.
I then offer some different ways of thinking about masculinity and history in order to counter the conspiracy.
