Spreading Misandry: The Teaching of Contempt for Men in Popular Culture

Paul Nathanson and Katherine Young argue that men have routinely been
portrayed as evil, inadequate, or as honorary women in popular culture since the
1990s. These stereotypes are profoundly disturbing, the authors argue, for they
both reflect and create a hatred and thus further fracture an already fractured
society. In "Spreading Misandry," they show that creating a workable society in
the twenty-first century requires us to rethink feminist and other assumptions
about men.
