Synopsis

Perceptions of men as abusers, sexual predators, and deadbeat dads have become firmly entrenched in our culture. Schwartz aims to dispel some of these negative images by delving into the psychological dynamics that have caused them. Revealing the hard facts about how we view men and women in our society, this work explores why the gender war and political correctness continue to be part of our culture.

This work explores the psychological dynamics of the gender war and political correctness. Perceptions of men as abusers, sexual predators, and deadbeat dads have become firmly entrenched in our culture, Schwartz argues, based on bogus information and not on solid objective facts. Aiming to dispel some of these negative images by delving into the psychological dynamics that have caused them and revealing the hard facts about how we view men and women in our society, Schwartz questions the current gender war. This book will be of interest to scholars and students in the areas of psychology, women's and men's studies, social policy, child development, and family therapists.
