In Manhood Acts Michael Schwalbe offers a new perspective on the
social construction of manhood and its relationship to male
domination. Schwalbe argues that study of masculinity has lost
touch with its feminist roots and has been seduced by the
politically safe notion of 'multiple masculinities'. Manhood Acts
delineates the practices males use to construct 'women' and 'men'
as unequal categories. Schwalbe reclaims the radical feminist
insights that gender is a field of domination, not a field of play,
and that manhood is fundamentally about exerting or resisting
control. Manhood Acts arrives at the conclusion that abolishing
gender as a system of oppression will require more than
transgressive self-presentation. It will be necessary to end the
exploitive economic relationships that necessitate manhood itself.
