Yet at the same time, feminist legal theory tends to view men through an essentialist lens, in which men are created equal. The study of masculinities, inspired by feminist theory to explore the construction of manhood and masculinity, questions the real circumstances of men, not in order to deny men?s privilege but to explore in particular how privilege is constructed, and what price is paid for it.In this groundbreaking work, feminist legal theorist Nancy E. Dowd exhorts readers to apply the anti-essentialist model?so dominant in feminist jurisprudence?to the study of masculinities. She demonstrates how men?s treatment by the law and society in general varies by race, economic position, sexuality, and other factors. She applies these insights to both boys and men, examining how masculinities analysis exposes both privilege and subordination. She examines men?s experienceof fatherhood and sexual abuse, and boys? experience in the contexts of education and juvenile justice. Ultimately, Dowd calls for a more inclusive feminist theory, which, by acknowledging the study of masculinities, can broaden our understanding of privilege and subordination. 606 $aFatherhood 606 $aFeminist theory 606 $aMasculinity 606 $aMen$xLegal status, laws, etc 606 $aSex and law 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aFatherhood. 615 0$aFeminist theory. 615 0$aMasculinity. 615 0$aMen$xLegal status, laws, etc. 615 0$aSex and law. 676 $a305.31 700 $aDowd$b Nancy E.$f1949-$01030711 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910458491203321 996 $aThe man question$92447741 997 $aUNINA
