Abstract
Describes the crisis of masculinity, and proposes a reconstruction of masculinity. The reconstruction separates the valuable aspects of traditional masculinity, which deserve to be honored, from those that are obsolete and dysfunctional (e.g., aggression). Some of the positive attributes are the man's ability to withstand hardship and pain to protect others, willingness to set aside his own needs for the sake of his family, and tendency to take care of people and solve their problems as if they were his own. Discussion focuses on gender role socialization, parent-child dynamics, and cultural dynamics as they relate to the proposed reconstruction.
