Chapter 6 (Archetypes) of The Masculinity Conspiracy is now online.

This chapter examines how archetypes are mobilized in the conspiracy via two books: Iron John: A Book About Men by Robert Bly, and King, Warrior, Magician, Lover: Rediscovering the Archetypes of the Mature Masculine by Robert Moore and Douglas Gillette.

It shows how these books promote archetypes as being defined by fixed characteristics.

It then offers some different ways of thinking about archetypes in order to counter the conspiracy.
