Items related to Feminism with Men: Bridging the Gender Gap
Feminism with Men asserts that it is not necessary to experience the world as a woman in order to develop a feminist understanding or to hold a feminist vision for the future. Patriarchy harms both men and women, although in different ways, while feminism offers an ideology for creating a more meaningful and life-affirming way of being in the world. This book explores the ways men can examine and change their oppressive relationships with both men and women through discussions of the limits of gender exclusive movements, the role of homophobia in maintaining sexist structures, and the difficulty of establishing radical alliances across gender differences. There are no clear road maps for creating a feminist future, but the authors argue that feminism can only bring about the widespread social change it envisions if it embraces a full partnership with men.

About the Author:
Steven P. Schacht, (1960-2003), served as professor in the Department of Sociology at Plattsburgh State University of New York. The bulk of his research over the past 10 years was ethnographic in approach, exploring issues of gender identity and gender construction. He also served as co-editor of Feminism and Men: Reconstructing Gender Relations with Doris Ewing, and Forging Radical Alliances Across Difference: Coalition Politics for a New Millennium with Jill Bystydzienski. Steve openly and honestly battled colon cancer for five years, dying in 2003 with the same passion and equanimity with which he lived. Doris W. Ewing is a professor emeritus of sociology at Southwest Missouri State University. Her primary areas of research and teaching are race, class, gender and disability. She has been active in community organizing and has previously co-authored a book and several articles on men and feminism with Steven P. Schacht.
Review:
Steven P. Schacht and Doris W. Ewing ... share something quite profound and equally meaningful to them both: an overriding concern about the future of feminism, and indeed the unshakeable belief in the possibility of a nonoppressive future. Part theoretical treatise, part how-to manual and personal narrative, this is a quick, easy, and interesting read for scholars ... as well as for first- and second-year undergraduate students. (Mirelle Cohen, University of Puget Sound Teaching Sociology)
By interweaving their own personal stories, and grounding these stories in feminist theories and research, Schacht and Ewing demonstrate the main thesis of their book: Not only is feminism still alive; it holds the potential for transforming the world, through a committed partnership between women and men. (Cheng Chen, University of Southern California)

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Feminism with Men asserts that it is not necessary to experience the world as a woman in order to develop a feminist understanding or to hold a feminist vision for the future. Patriarchy harms both men and women, although in different ways, while feminism offers an ideology for creating a more meaningful and life-affirming way of being in the world. This book explores the ways men can examine and change their oppressive relationships with both men and women through discussions of the limits of gender exclusive movements, the role of homophobia in maintaining sexist structures, and the difficulty of establishing radical alliances across gender differences. There are no clear road maps for creating a feminist future, but the authors argue that feminism can only bring about the widespread social change it envisions if it embraces a full partnership with men. How can men participate in feminism as a full and equal partner, respecting gender differences yet sharing a common vision with women for an oppression-free future? This book provides both male and female perspectives, academic insights and practical suggestions for (pro)feminist men seeking new ways to increase mutual understanding.
