Hopefully this valuable resource will enable fathers to come together, pool their knowledge, and solve this challenge.Jacob Bockelmannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09269049761535936767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1294327491308524431.post-17278645970285898652009-06-24T16:00:08.653-04:002009-06-24T16:00:08.653-04:00Michael Kimmel, a sociologist who studies masculin...Michael Kimmel, a sociologist who studies masculinity, came to speak at Grinnell this spring and I went to see him. He recently wrote a book called "Guyland" about the culture of masculinity that most men our age (college/teens) are participating in. <br /><br />He talked about how males today try to stay in a prolonged state of adolescence to avoid responsibilities, including those of fatherhood. This is manifested in binge drinking, smoking, womanizing, and general rowdy, irresponsible behavior. This, Kimmel argued (and this is from my hazy recollections), harms men and women. I think he argued that if we want to improve the lives of women we need to work with men to get them out of "guyland." There are a lot of stats and other things I could say, but I won't because this comment is pretty long.<br /><br />But, here's a link to a Newsweek piece on it:<br /><br />http://www.newsweek.com/id/156372Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07623132642062730824noreply@blogger.com
