Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Men who make their way through the interminable subtitle and embark on this orignal and significant study will find that they haven't lost the ability to cry after all. While some feminists may assert that it is an attack on women, the book attempts to show areas in which males operate at a disadvantage without claiming that women are responsible for their plight. Psychologist Farrell stresses economics, pointing out that the 25 worst types of jobs, involving the highest physical risk, are almost all filled by men. He also considers warfare, in which virtually all of the military casualties are men; the justice system, where sentences for males are customarily heavier; and sexual harassment, which has become a one-way street. He concludes with helpful advice on "resocializing" the male child, adolescent and adult. Clever cartoons enliven the text.

From Library Journal
This seminal work challenges, debunks, and redirects many of the paradigms held about men and their relationships with women. Farrell ( The Liberated Man , LJ 2/1/75; Why Men Are The Way They Are , LJ 9/1/86) calls for a gender transition movement not specifically limited to men or feminists. He shows how men's workshops and feminist organizations promulgate sexism and support limited goals while not fully addressing the issues and responsibilities involved in fully empowering both sexes. Farrell's endnotes are more diversified and complete than many dissertations. This title is more important to the male/female relationship discussion than Robert Bly's Iron John ( LJ 11/15/90), Michael Gurian's The Prince and the King ( LJ 7/92), Sam Keen's Fire in the Belly ( LJ 2/15/91), or any of Betty Friedan's works (e.g., The Feminine Mystique , LJ 1/1/63). Recommended for all public and academic libraries.
