Chapter 2 now online
Chapter 2 (History) of The Masculinity Conspiracy is now online.
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.
