He and She: Men in the Eighties
He and She is about male attitudes to sex and gender in the 1980s. It examines the extent to which men consider themselves to be different from women in a number of areas, including interests, aptitudes, friendships and intimate relationships with partners and children. Issues of sex and gender are located within the varied settings of education and employment. Comparisons are made between ideal situations and attitudes and what men have been able to implement in practice. The book is based on interviews with 51 men, aged from 17 to 90, from a variety of cultural and occupational backgrounds. Extensive use is made of verbatim material from interviews and biographical details. This information is conveyed to the reader against the backcloth of a historical perspective and studies and research on male/female issues. This book will be of interest to students of men’s studies, gender studies, women’s studies, and sociology.
