Abstract:
Though most men are not violent, the overwhelming majority of rapes, sexual assaults, and acts of gun violence are perpetrated by males. The Tough Standard synthesizes over four decades of research in the psychology of men and masculinities and proposes solutions to corresponding social problems. It examines the role of masculine norms in the present moment in American culture against the backdrop high-profile movements such as Me Too, March for Our Lives, and Black Lives Matter.
