| Abstract
|
:
|
"Exposing Men examines how 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 reprodutive troubles has the health of the male body been thrown into question, and along with it deeper masculine ideals. Cynthia R. Daniels casts a gimlet eye on our world of plummeting sperm counts, spiking male reprodutive cancers, declining birth rates of boys, and the growth of industries to "correct" male infertility, in order to assess the true state of male health." "Explaining how our perception of men and women's reproductive functions has 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."--Jacket.
