Exposing Men: The Science and Politics of Male Reproduction
Exposing Men: The Science and Politics of Male Reproduction
Oxford University Press, USA | 2006-08-31 | ISBN: 019514841X | 272 pages | PDF | 1 MB
Exposing Men examines how such ideals of masculinity have long skewed our societal--and scientific--understanding of one of the pillars of male identity: reproductive health. Only with the recent public exposure of men's reproductive troubles has the health of the male body been thrown into question, and along with it deeper masculine ideals. Whereas once men’s sexual and reproductive abilities were the most taboo of topics, today sperm banks advertise their ‘product’ in flashy subway signs and magazine articles trumpet male reproductive decline with headlines such as "You're Half the Man Your Father Was." Deftly explaining how our perception of men and women’s reproductive functions have informed society’s broader assumptions about gender roles, Exposing Men is for anyone interested in confronting and addressing the ever-changing landscape of sexual inequalities.
