Description
Dive into the thought-provoking narrative of 'Men on Strike,' a compelling trade paperback that explores the current societal dynamics affecting men today. Published by Encounter Books in 2015, this vital read carries the ISBN 9781594037627 and is in brand new condition. The book articulates a notable trend where men increasingly withdraw from traditional roles such as marriage, parenthood, and work, leading to a growing phenomenon often referred to as the 'man-child' crisis. 'Men on Strike' examines the pressing question: Why should men engage in a system that appears to work against them? With insights into erratic societal expectations and increasing perceptions of hostility towards men, this enlightening book argues that men's behavior is a rational response to a system offering limited incentives for responsible living. As men consciously or unconsciously take a stand against these societal pressures, they are redefining masculinity and challenging the status quo. This book is an essential read for anyone interested in gender studies, sociology, and the ongoing conversation about the male experience in modern America. Note: Shipping for this item is free.

Description:
American society has become anti-male. Men are sensing the backlash and are consciously and unconsciously going "on strike." They are dropping out of college, leaving the workforce and avoiding marriage and fatherhood at alarming rates. The trend is so pronounced that a number of books have been written about this "man-child" phenomenon, concluding that men have taken a vacation from responsibility simply because they can. But why should men participate in a system that seems to be increasingly stacked against them? As Men on Strike demonstrates, men aren't dropping out because they are stuck in arrested development. They are instead acting rationally in response to the lack of incentives society offers them to be responsible fathers, husbands and providers. In addition, men are going on strike, either consciously or unconsciously, because they do not want to be injured by the myriad of laws, attitudes and hostility against them for the crime of happening to be male in the twenty-first century. Men are starting to fight back against the backlash. Men on Strike explains their battle cry.
