Thinking On Sunday:  What Do Men Want? Masculinity and its Discontents

Something is
definitely up with men. From millions who follow Jordan Peterson to the #MeToo
backlash, from Men's Rights activists and incels to spiralling suicide rates,
it's easy to see that, while men still rule the world, masculinity is in
crisis.

How can men and women
live together in a world where capitalism and consumerism has replaced the
values – family, religion, service and honour – that used to give our lives
meaning? Feminism has gone some way towards dismantling the patriarchy, but how
can we hold on to the best aspects of our metaphorical Father?

Nina Power
unlocks the secrets hidden in our culture to enable men and women to practice
playfulness and forgiveness, and reach a true mutual understanding and a
lifetime of love.

Nina Power is a writer
and philosopher. She has written regularly for The Telegraph, Art Review and The Spectator, amongst other publications. She is the author of One-Dimensional
Woman
(Zer0, 2009). Her book What Do Men Want? Masculinity and Its Discontents
will be available to buy on the day.
