Abstract
In recent years, U.S. men have responded to and at times initiated changes in the personal and social relations of gender. There is an increasing cultural preoccupation with men's roles as fathers.1 Gay liberationists and anti-sexist men are confronting heterosexism and male domination in society,2 while some academic men contribute to the feminist challenge to phallocentric curricula.3 Meanwhile, born-again Christians are subtly re-defining women's and men's "god-given roles,"4 while conservative ministers hold popular seminars on "the meaning of manhood,"5 and angry men (mostly divorced fathers) organize for "men's rights."6 And as I write, Robert Bly's book, Iron John: A Book About Men7 enjoyed over half a year on the national top ten bestsellers list.
