Emily Carian’s book, Good Guys, Bad Guys: The Perils of Men’s Gender Activism, is now available for preorder from NYU Press. Its official release is May 9.
In the book, Emily compare two very different groups of men gender activists – men who are feminists and men who are men’s rights activists – and explore their trajectories into their respective movements. Surprisingly, both groups are motivated to engage in activism by their desire to be seen as good men. Unfortunately, this well-intentioned but rather superficial motivation hinders feminist men from effecting real and positive change, just as it invests men’s rights activists in a deeply misogynist movement. The similarities between feminist men and men’s rights activists illuminate a path forward for engaging men in more meaningful efforts to challenge gender inequality.
