Wie geht das, Mann sein heute? Männer sind die Geisterfahrer der modernen Gesellschaft: Der Feminismus stellt sie als Mängelwesen dar - "toxische Männlichkeit" ist zu einem Kampfbegriff geworden. Und die vermeintlichen Übeltäter? Passen sich geschmeidig an oder aber: fühlen sich überrollt von einer Logik, die ihre männliche Identität als zerstörerisch brandmarkt.

"Der westliche Mann wird unterdrückt und verweiblicht, er ist vom Aussterben bedroht." So klingt der immer lauter werdende Kriegsschrei der Antifeministen, der zu einem Mantra der wiedererstarkenden Rechten geworden ist. Man hört ihn von hyperagressiven Maskulisten und rechtsradikalen Burschenschaftern, von hasszerfressenen Internet-Trollen und neurechten Frauenhassern. Tobias Ginsburg hat sich ihnen ein Jahr lang undercover angeschlossen, um herauszufinden, wo diese Ängste und all der Hass herrühren.

Empecemos con una simple ecuación: hombre ≠ macho. ¿Mindblown? Sí, se puede ser hombre sin ser macho. Digan lo que digan. Si eres como la mayoría de nosotros, tú también creciste con la noción de que un hombre "de verdad" no muestra sus sentimientos, siempre tiene la razón y vive para ligar. Pero cuidado: esa es solo la versión dominante de la masculinidad y no es la única posible; de hecho, es una idea que limita y daña a todos y a todas. ¿Qué vas a hacer tú para cambiar esto?

"Das männliche Gehirn" ist ein Buch, das sich mit der neuesten Forschung auf dem Gebiet des männlichen Gehirns beschäftigt. Mit einem wissenschaftlichen Ansatz erforscht Louann Brizendine, wie sich das männliche Gehirn vom weiblichen unterscheidet und warum Männer, generell gesehen, abenteuerlustiger und wettbewerbsfähiger sind als Frauen. Eine Pflichtlektüre für alle Männer (und Frauen übrigens auch), die mehr über das stereotypische, männliche Verhalten erfahren wollen.

Your body needs maintaining to keep it healthy. So does your mind. Sounds simple, but tired and outdated ideas that tell men how they ought to be mean the message gets lost. And the results speak for themselves: suicide is the biggest killer of men under 50. There's no more room for debate - taking care of your head space should be as normal as eating your five-a-day or going to the gym. Many books make impossible promises about how they will fix all your problems and stresses with some miraculous 10-step programme. This one doesn't.

Depuis quelque temps, les deux sexes semblent s'affronter et la masculinité toxique est au cœur de tous les débats. Mais qu'en disent les hommes ? Que veulent-ils ? Quels rapports entretiennent-ils aux femmes, et à eux-mêmes ? Aurélie Lévy s'appuie sur son expérience de réalisatrice de documentaires et décide de leur donner la parole, pour tenter de les comprendre, sans parti pris et sans jugement. Ils sont artiste, universitaire, paysan, banquier, chômeur, détective privé.

Warnung! Dieses Hörbuch ist nichts für Männer, die sich selbst für ein "Alpha-Männchen" halten oder zart besaitet sind. Warum? Weil dieses Hörbuch aufzeigen wird, warum gerade "Alphas", "Hypermännchen", "echte Männer", die Ursache für das immer wiederkehrende Leid von Völkermorden, Kriegen, Zerstörung, Armut, Ungerechtigkeit, Korruption und Wirtschaftskollapsen sind. Genau diese Vorwürfe lassen sogenannte "Hypermännchen" und kritikunfähige "Alphas" erfahrungsgemäß sofort laut aufheulen und reflexartig um sich beißen.

In his new book Calling: Awaken to the Purpose of Your Work, author Pierce Brantley uses practical language and shares actionable steps to show men how to redefine the purpose of their work and discover what it means to have a "called career". Brantley shows men they can find a meaningful connection with God in the work they are doing right now. Men were designed for this partnership, and once they embrace it they will be awakened to the true purpose of their work - not just a career but a calling.

But none of it works. Because only one thing will bring us the joy, peace, purpose, and significance we desire: a relationship with the God of heaven. An intimate relationship, one that is real and true. But for that kind of relationship, we must embark on a journey to encounter him personally. In his new book Odyssey, Justin Camp offers a practical, scriptural field guide for men who are ready to walk this ancient path. The book is built around six short biographies, real-life stories of great American astronauts.

For too long, we've thought of fathers as little more than sources of authority and economic stability in the lives of their children. Yet cutting-edge studies drawing unexpected links between fathers and children are forcing us to reconsider our assumptions and ask new questions: What changes occur in men when they are "expecting"? Do fathers affect their children’s language development? What are the risks and rewards of being an older-than-average father at the time the child is born?

Mitten in der Aufbruchsstimmung der Frauenbewegung stellte Esther Vilar 1971 in ihrer Streitschrift "Der dressierte Mann" die These auf, dass mitnichten die Frau durch den Mann unterdrückt werde, sondern dass es viel eher der umgekehrte Fall sei. Mit dieser Provokation löste sie einen Skandal aus. Doch nur auf den ersten Blick scheint sie einseitig Partei für den Mann zu ergreifen. Vielmehr geht es ihr generell um die Unfreiheit im Umgang der Geschlechter miteinander. Wogegen sie kämpfte, waren Rollenmodelle und Klischees, die auch heute nicht überwunden sind.

In his groundbreaking book, noted expert on teenage and adult masculine behavior Andrew Smiler debunks the myth that teenage boys and young men are barely able to control their sex drives, which may lead to destructive hyper-sexuality, unwanted pregnancy, and sexually transmitted diseases. Dr. Smiler helps us to recognize that the majority of boys and men do not fit this stereotype and that boys' sexual development is multi-faceted.

There are hundreds of books on parenting, and with good reason - becoming a parent is scary, difficult, and life-changing. But when it comes to books about parenting identity, rather than the nuts and bolts of raising children, nearly all are about what it's like to be a mother. Drawing on research in sociology, economics, philosophy, gender studies, and the author's own experiences, Father Figure sets out to fill that gap.

With engaging personal stories and insight into biblical truths, Nathan Clarkson declares to today's man that he is more than what the culture is telling him he is - angry, selfish, predatory, violent, and bored. Instead, still on the journey himself, Nathan calls today's man to find his identity in the one who created him on purpose, for a purpose, and encourages him to live an honest, authentic life marked by a winsome combination of confidence and humility. 

Captain Robert Falcon Scott didn't start out life as a hero. In fact, as a boy he was considered small, frail and shy. So what was it that turned this ordinary man into a legend? Through his gripping account of how this modest naval officer became Scott of the Antarctic, Neil Oliver vividly relates the awe-inspiring tales of brave men that inspired Britain's greatest hero, including Nelson, Sir John Moore and the Demons of Camerone.

We aspire to live in a country where old men are celebrated as vital elders but not demeaned if they become ill and dependent. We aspire to maintain health as well as maintain dignity and fulfillment in frailty. Old Man Country helps listeners see and imagine these possibilities for themselves. The audiobook follows the journey of a writer in search of wisdom, as he encounters 12 distinguished American men over 80 - including Paul Volcker, the former head of the Federal Reserve, and Denton Cooley, the world's most famous heart surgeon.

When MaryAnne Howland's son was turning 13, she organized a "Black Mitzvah" rite of passage celebration for him. Max is one of the one-in-three children in America being raised without a father in the home. Among African Americans, that number is reported to be as high as 72 percent. To help fill the father-shaped hole in Max's life as he transitioned from boyhood to manhood, MaryAnne invited four men from different corners of her life - an engineer, a philanthropist, a publisher, and a financial planner - to become Max's mentors.

Von uns Männern wird viel erwartet.Wir sollen: stark sein, männlich sein, Beschützer sein, perfekte Liebhaber sein, einfühlsam sein, erfolgreich sein, Väter sein, unsere Liebsten ernähren, perfekt durchtrainiert sein, wohlhabend sein, gebildet sein, Frauenversteher sein, angstlos sein, gutaussehend sein, uns stilvoll kleiden, uns gepflegt ausdrücken, die Welt bereist haben, Problemlöser sein, und vieles mehr... Aber müssen wir diese Dinge wirklich alle können und verkörpern?

Banning gay propaganda can backfire. Spectacularly. In the 1980s, when the UK Government of Margaret Thatcher outlawed the "promotion" of homosexuality, gays were still semi-criminal. As well as immoral, ridiculous, disgusting, diseased, and after your kids. Since then, however, UK gays have been promoted more rapidly and giddily than almost any persecuted, despised group in history. In just a generation or so they have achieved legal equality, civil rights, and even respectability. Today they are gay married by the Conservative Prime Minister, no less. Homosexuality has joined the golf club.
