"Much as been heard about the women's bid for freedom, as a result of which they have won for themselves the right to compete in most arenas previously assumed by men to be their preserve. What has been the effect on men? Certainly men have been affected, probably a lot more than they have so far admitted in public. In fact, very little has been heard from them. And yet, in all their traditional roles - warrior, hunter lover, husband, father, hero, leader, sage, priest, they have become increasingly impotent or redundant. This book examines how and why men originally gained access to power and why they are now relinquishing it (psychologically if not yet in practice). It also attempts to answer the question 'What now for men?'. But What About Men? suggests that we must abandon our commitment to maximum procurement and proliferation. The planet cannot sustain it, nor has it brought about the degree of security and happiness once envisaged. It has to be time for less getting and having, more being content; less (sexually-generated) competition, more (spiritually-inspired) contemplation; and for a society in which people wil[l] be more able to live and grow together, without being limited by sexual stereotyping." - Back cover.
