- Summary:
- "In the Bro Code and Generation M, filmmaker Thomas Keith examined how American culture bombards boys and men with sexist and misogynistic messages. In The Empathy Gap, he looks more closely at the ways these messages short-circuit young men's ability to empathize with women, respect them as equals, and take feminist seriously. Keith begins by exploring the dominant messages about manhood that circulate in American culture, then traces the myriad ways these messages dehumanize women. Along the way, he draw fascinating parallels between sexism and racism, and shows how men who break the regressive gender norms live happier and healthier lives" -- Back of container.
