Defending Masculinity & Tackling The Male Crisis

On this episode of #SWYSI, Nina Power discusses her book "What Do Men Want?: Masculinity & its Discontents" and provides her insights on men and women, "toxic masculinity", incels, "patriarchy", Western culture, and the "men are bad" narrative. Nina Power's book is an inquiry into love, sex and power and provides an unashamed defence of masculinity and an attempt to tackle the crisis in masculinity that has grown to epidemic proportions amongst vast swathes of the population. Nina Power is a philosopher, cultural critic and author. In addition to her books, she has written for The Spectator, The Telegraph and the Art Review, amongst other publications. Nina says she wrote this book “partly because I have been personally and politically disturbed by the division created by media and technology between men and women in my own lifetime. Partly because I feel that men and women have had their lives reduced to generalizations by a media that loves sweeping claims: I think that these claims don’t accord in the slightest with the complex reality of our lives.” On her website she adds “it’s an attempt, among other things, to understand...male resentment."
