The Fictions that Shape Men's Lives is structured around a number
of key 'fictions' of masculinity, such as beliefs in biological
determinism, the inevitability of men's violence and the opposition
of the sexes, and proceeds to expose them to be wholly or partially
unfounded. Examining the social pressure to behave and experience
the self in ways that culture prescribes for the bodies we are
perceived as having, this book provides an awareness of widely-held
but distorted assumptions of gender. It also seeks to put men into
the position to resist masculine social pressures when conforming
to it conflicts with important life goals or values and/or causes
harm. Making use of an informal, storytelling style provides an
accessibility to those interested in breaking down their
preconceptions of gender and masculinity, as well making links to
key theories and concepts. This is a lively and engaging book for
undergraduates studying introduction to Gender, Sexuality and
Masculinity courses.
