520 "Against all evidence to the contrary, American men have
come to believe that the world is tilted - economically,
socially, politically - against them. A majority of men
across the political spectrum feel that they face some
amount of discrimination because of their sex. The authors
of Gender Threat look at what reasoning lies behind their
belief and how they respond to it. Many feel that there is
a limited set of socially accepted ways for men to express
their gender identity, and when circumstances make it
difficult or impossible for them to do so, they search for
another outlet to compensate. Sometimes these behaviors
are socially positive, such as placing a greater emphasis
on fatherhood, but other times they can be maladaptive, as
in the case of increased sexual harassment at work. These
trends have emerged, notably, since the Great Recession of
2008-09. Drawing on multiple data sources, the authors
find that the specter of threats to their gender identity
has important implications for men's behavior. Importantly,
younger men are more likely to turn to nontraditional
compensatory behaviors, such as increased involvement in
cooking, parenting, and community leadership, suggesting
that the conception of masculinity is likely to change in
the decades to come"--|cProvided by publisher.
