Recenzii
A valuable contribution to the nascent scholarship on male reproduction. Daniels has written a succinct and accessible book that should serve as a springboard for future studies on the topic. Although her target audience includes scholars, reproductive scientists, and policy makers, the book will certainly spur interesting discussions in graduate and advanced undergraduate seminars on the history of reproduction, sexuality, and health policy.
Provoking and surprisingly accessible despite the complexity of Daniel's ideas.
A stunningly original approach to gender justice. With sober science and clear, vivid narrative, Daniels challenges our biological and political ideals of masculinity. A brilliant scientific expose in the service of humane politics, with a powerful message: Only through recognition of male vulnerability can gender justice be achieved.
Announce a feminist book on reproductive health hazards, and it's a safe bet readers will expect an angry expose of threats to women's bodies and lives. If so, prepare to lose your wager while you gain wisdom and wonder. Stellar feminist theorist Cynthia Daniels forges boldly into the virgin and veiled political terrain of environmental and social hazards to men's reproductive health. A brilliant analysis of how the politics of masculinity thwart research, awareness and policy concerning increasing threats to male fertility, potency, and progeny.
Exposing Men presents a gripping account of how men's reproductive systems are just as harmed by environmental and industrial factors as are women's, ranging from low sperm counts to birth defects to sexual health. Arguing that men's position of social privilege often obscures the dangers to which they are subjected, Daniels makes a powerful case for rethinking how we see men's role in reproduction, sexuality, and masculinity. Everybody, male and female alike, who thinks that feminism is just about women-or just for women-should read this book.
