| Summary |
Men Engaging Feminisms is about men's responses to feminist reforms in schooling. These have become closely intertwined with the 'what about the boys?' backlash. This and other forms of backlash are deconstructed. Written by two men from a profeminist perspective, Men Engaging Feminisms seeks to open up a dialogue about schooling and changing gender relations and changing gender order while also desiring to contribute to a more equal gender order in the future |
