Klappentext
Men and the Language of Emotions challenges the commonly held association of rationality with masculinity, involving distancing from the language of emotions. Drawing on a study of heterosexual men talking about their life and relationships, he demonstrates that men are capable of speaking of emotions, and in direct and uninhibited ways.
Masculinity is a hot topic of research in social sciences generally and 'Language and Gender' courses in particular
Striking findings refute the stereotype of the buttoned up male
Completely original large-scale study of largely middle aged heterosexual men provides a new strand for Gender Studies- hitherto more concerned with women or gays
Challenges opposition of masculinity and femininity and therefore offers an unfamiliar view
