About this product

Product Information

The Gender Knot, Allan Johnson's response to the pain and confusion that men and women experience by living with gender inequality, explains what patriarchy is and isn't, how it works, and what gets in the way of understanding and doing something about it. Johnson's simple yet powerful approach avoids the paralyzing trap of guilt, blame, anger, and defensive denial that often result from conversations about gender. He shows how we all participate in an oppressive system we didn't create and how each of us can contribute towards its dissolution. He argues persuasively that something much better is possible and that our individual choices matter more than we can ever know. This revised, and updated edition features expanded discussions of: * the core characteristics of patriarchy and its power as a social system * the relationship between individuals and social systems * "men's movement" assessments of patriarchy and gender inequality * key--and controversial--terms such as sexism, privilege, and political correctness

Reviews
Reviews of the previous edition:"Johnson argues. . .that although female oppression "is at the heart of patriarchy," its fundamental essence is men's relationship with other men as they engage in a continuous struggle to prove their manhood-not to women, but to each other. . . . Johnson takes patriarchy to task, critically examining its dynamics to reveal an underlying, pervasive domination-and-control mentality that is destructive to both females and males." Choice". . . this book is a worthy addition to the small group of serious writing by men who understand the oppression of women, who can clearly and without defensiveness define a system of patriarchy, and who can voice the participation of both men and women in patriarchy without blaming the victim. Written in clear and accessible language-without academic boorishness or political rhetoric-this is a good introduction for women as well as men-but most importantly, it is from a man who can clearly explain to men what's happening and what they can do to change it." Feminist Bookstore News"The best of feminist theory is linked with practice, and Johnson's book follows this tradition by connecting patriarchy's macrostructure to its microstructure and by encouraging the reader to envision taking the necessary steps to dismantle the system. . . . It is beautifully written and thoughtful, and provides compelling analyses of contemporary patriarchy and of the powerful ideology that supports the system and inhibits change. . . . In addition to the quality scholarship, Johnson makes it clear throughout The Gender Knot that his work is more than an academic exercise; it is a guidebook for a life-changing adventure." Contemporary Sociology"Highly accessible and a pleasure to read, Johnson never oversimplifies the complex issue he explores. His engaging and conversational style will appeal to a wide audience and will be particularly useful for the classroom." Gender and Society"Allan G. Johnson's stirring new book . . . more than dusts off the word [patriarchy] to parse it; he resurrects it. He makes it pulse again with portent. And he emboldens readers to do something about it that will make a difference. . . .The Gender Knot belongs on the reading list of every course in sexual politics that encourages students to engage (if not "smash") patriarchy meaningfully."
