Men's issues, men's solutions : the effects of a South African mythopoetic men's group's activities on gender equality: 2004-2005

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

Mythopoetic organisations are popular among largely middle-class (elite) men in well-resourced countries. These organisations have sprung up in the last twenty years to create a space where men come together to address issues of masculinity. Many pro-feminist writers have questioned the capacity of mythopoetic men’s groups to promote gender equality. They see them as more likely to provide support for, rather than undermine, patriarchy.
