Carnage in the classroom, misogynists in high office, sociopaths in
uniform, masculinity is a killer. From styles of dress to the
stunted capacity for expressing a diversity of emotions, becoming a
man involves killing off and repudiating anything that in our
society is held as feminine. When a person is unable to show
compassion and tenderness, or when exposed for their frailties,
feels angry and humiliated, they have problems. Problems that none
of us are immune to. Masculinity, Cremin provocatively declares, is
a generic disorder of a sick society that afflicts even the best of
us. Neither a condition of being human nor even of male, it is a
disorder, as she illustrates, of a capitalist society that depends
and even thrives upon its very symptoms. From the perspective of a
trans woman raised to be a man, the book maps the disorder and
speculates on the possible means to overcome it. Instead of
signifying weakness, catastrophes can be prevented when the
qualities men often fear and women often feel subordinated to are
prioritised, affirmed and nourished. Drawing, amongst others, on
Marx and Freud, Cremin eloquently demonstrates why there can be no
future other than one in which we are all reconciled as a society
with the feminine. In such a future, the terms 'masculine' and
'feminine' will neither define us nor determine our relationship to
one another.
