"Kimbrell offers a political manifesto around which men can gather to save their lives, save their friends and families, and save the earth." --Utne Reader American men are in crisis. We see the consequences all around us: the alarming increase in male unemployment and homelessness, punitive custody laws deprive men of their children, and high pressure competitive jobs that leave men vulnerable to stress-related diseases and substance abuse. As Andrew Kimbrell brilliantly shows, these are not the problems of "fringe" groups or misfits, but of every man in living and working in our society. How did this happen? How have downward mobility, negative male stereotypes, and societal indifference converged to threaten men's very lives? Andrew Kimbrell has seen the fear that men are living with and has heard their anxious voices. From the corporate executive facing downsizing to the disenfranchized African-American, Vietnam vet, and divorced father, men are in pain. In The Masculine Mystique, he traces the turbulent history that has brought men to this crisis. From the laws of enclosure that first separated men from their land centuries ago to the steep decline in real wages earned by American men in the last twenty years, Kimbrell explains the shifts that have steadily undermined men and created a destructive masculine mystique. As a lawyer, activist, environmentalist, and father, Kimbrell urges men to mount a campaign of social, political, and community action. In this fiercely reasoned, deeply persuasive book, Kimbrell encourages men to stand up and demand a better life, a better world. Through stories of men who are working to better their condition, he gives us much-needed models. His political manifesto outlines the platform men need to adopt on a personal, legislative and societal level. Because the time has come for men to act.

Masculine Mystique

Social Sciences

Ballantine Books

Do you want to know why men die seven years earlier than women, are more likely to die of hear disease, cancer, alcoholism, and ulcers, commit suicide at four times the rate of women, only have 20% change of gaining custody of their children after divorce, experience a dramatic drop in real wages, while those of women are increasing and are less likely to graduate from college than women? Then read Kimbrell’s book, "The Masculine Mystique." American men are in a crisis. We see the consequences all around us: the alarming increase in male unemployment and homelessness, punitive custody laws that deprive men of their children, and high-pressure competitive jobs that leave men vulnerable to stress-related diseases and substance abuse. Kimbrell brilliantly shows these are not the problems of "fringe" groups or misfits, but of every man living and working in our society. From the laws of enclosure to the steep decline in real wage, Kimbrell shows how men have been steadily undermined and a destructive masculine mystique created.

Not only can genetic engineering lower the nutritional value of foods, but GE crops can lead to increased pesticide use as well as to the extinction of salmon and other fish species. The evidence is overwhelming and in the news now more than ever. Everyone deserves an environmentally sustainable and socially just food culture and reading Your Right to Know is a step in helping to make that happen.
