- Description
- By charting the cultural trajectory of sex in America since the end of World War II,this book reveals how the America's continual woes with sexuality helped makethe country an anxious, insecure people. The sex lives of many, perhaps most Americans have been in a perpetual state of crisis, a constant source of concern. In tracing the cultural trajectory of sex in society, Samuel illustrates the bipolar approach to sexuality: low libido and sex addiction emerged as common disorders, and sex scandal after sex scandal has made headlines, especially over the last couple of years. Only money has surpassed sex as a source of stress for Americans: indeed, sex has come to be seen and treated as a commodity.

- Description
- This book is an anthology of essays written by and about pro-feminist men. In the essays anti-sexist men make sense of their gendered experiences in today's culture. They reflect on growing up, share moments in their day-to-day lives, and pose questions about being a pro-feminist male living, working, thinking, and learning in a sexist society. The book is strategically positioned at the intersection of feminist literature and masculinity studies

- Description
- Does gender make a difference to the way the judiciary works and should work? Or, is gender blindness a built-in prerequisite of judicial objectivity? If gender does make a difference, how might this be defined? These are the key questions posed in this collection of essays. The book's pressing topicality is underlined by the fact that male opposition to women's admission to, and progress within, the judicial profession has been largely based on the argument that, because of their gender, women are naturally programmed to show empathy, partiality, and gendered prejudice - in short, essential qualities running directly counter to the need for judicial bjectivity. There remains a more or less pronounced glass ceiling to women's judicial careers.
