Gender Studies

Some guys had it all, and still end up in the low point that the Red Pill guys are here to work on.

Apesar dos avanços das lutas feministas por igualdade, o conceito de gênero–uma das principais categorias políticas da atualidade e um termo que mobiliza debates acalorados–ainda gera muitas dúvidas e é frequentemente mal interpretado.

In a world filled with injustice and violence, we long for a new sacred symbolism to inspire transformation. Our yearning includes a widespread hunger for visions of the Female Divine in church life and worship to restore gender balance and finally achieve just, equal and inclusive faith communities. This collection of engrossing narratives of women and men trying to change the institutional church—and society—illuminates how reclaiming multicultural female images of God extends beyond the sanctuary and into the community.

This acclaimed, accessible, and thoroughly researched biography documents the life of Ann Lee, a controversial, religious leader and early feminist figure. Lee established the Shaker movement in 1770 in Manchester, England. The core principles of the Shakers were radical: in an era when wives were the possession of their husband, Lee proclaimed the equality of men and women. The Shakers were dedicated to beliefs in absolute pacifism, equality of the sexes, absolute celibacy, and the cleansing of sin through dancing and chanting to shake away the past.

A celebration and exploration of gossip, reclaiming it as a powerful tool for building relationships, sharing vital information and enabling women’s voices to be heard. Tittle-tattle. Hearsay. Rumours. Bitching. Tea. Call it what you will: the fact remains that gossip is entwined into our...

There is a significant problem in our schools: too many boys are struggling. The list of things to concern teachers is long. Disappointing academic results, a lack of interest in studying, higher exclusion rates, increasing mental health issues, sexist attitudes, an inability to express emotions...

Frauen im Internet stehen unter ständiger Beobachtung. Sophie Passmann ist selbst Teil der widersprüchlichen Welt weiblicher Selbstdarstellung in den sozialen Medien. Radikal selbstkritisch seziert sie die Phänomene, die eine ganze Generation prägen: von der asketischen Disziplin einer Hailey Bieber über die kalkulierte Görenhaftigkeit von Charli XCX bis zur neurotischen Perfektion von Taylor Swift. Warum sind wir alle so fasziniert von Frauen, die uns etwas vormachen – und gleichzeitig hassen wir sie genau dafür?

In telling the history of women in medicine, the pioneers are rightly remembered and celebrated in books, articles, memorials, awards, names of buildings, and organizations. In contrast, the generation who began the transition from minority status to the current numerical equity are seldom...

Not Just For the Boys looks back at how society has historically excluded women from the scientific sphere and discourse, what progress has been made, and how more is still needed. Athene Donald, herself a distinguished physicist, explores societal expectations during both childhood and working...

Neither Man Nor Beast explores the common link between cultural attitudes to women and animals in modern Western culture that have enabled the systematic exploitation of both. A vivid work that takes in environmental ethics, theological perspectives and feminist theory.

For 30 years, since the publication of her landmark book The Sexual Politics of Meat, Carol J. Adams and her fans have continued to document and hold to account the degrading interplay of language about women, domesticated animals, and meat in advertising, politics, and media. Serving as sequel and visual companion, The Pornography of Meat charts the continued influence of this language and the fight against it.

Le destre reazionarie si stanno impossessando di temi e parole che accompagnano da decenni le battaglie femministe, e ne stravolgono il significato. La stessa parola "femminista" è stata svuotata e manipolata, piegata a servire un progetto politico di esclusione delle minoranze e delle alterità, una nuova idea di società e di umanità, in cui nel nome delle donne si invocano razzismo, xenofobia, omotransfobia, guerra.

In elf ehrlichen und emotionalen Briefen wendet sich Nathalie Klüver an alle Mütter, die ihre Töchter stärken wollen. Dieses Buch übersetzt das Weltgeschehen ins Persönliche, verbindet Fakten mit gesellschaftlicher Analyse und gibt konkrete Impulse für den Alltag. So zeigt es, wie aus weiblicher Wut Zuversicht werden kann – und wie wir unseren Kindern eine starke Haltung mit auf den Weg geben.

Wir kennen sie: Männer, die ihre Gefühle nicht zeigen können – oder nicht wollen. Wenn ihre Emotionen sichtbar werden, dann oft als Wut, Freude und Stolz, aber nur selten als Trauer, Zweifel oder verletzliche Liebe. Frauen und Queers beklagen, dass sie die emotionale Arbeit übernehmen, die Männer ihnen, sich selbst und einander verweigern. Doch auch Männer zahlen dafür einen hohen Preis: Sie leiden unter sozialer Einsamkeit, oberflächlichen Freundschaften und überdurchschnittlich hohen Suizidraten.

In this unflinching response to JD Vance's Hillbilly Elegy, Georgiann Davis guides us through her extraordinary life, from weighing almost 300 pounds by fifth grade, to dropping out of school in the seventh and on to selling weed out of her “monkey shit green” Plymouth Neon. A tall, fat girl who only wore boy’s clothing, she grew up with a turbulent family outside of Chicago: the larger-than-life mother who looked like Farah Fawcett, the father who understood cars better than children, the brother whose drug use went unchecked, and the Greek grandparents who could only love her from afar.

In 2018, artist and activist Erin Darcy launched In Her Shoes – Women of the Eighth, an online project where Irish women anonymously shared the realities of abortion under the Eighth Amendment. Within months, hundreds of stories poured in, breaking decades of taboo and helping shift public opinion before Ireland's historic vote to repeal the Amendment that May. Garnering over 100,000 followers and global media attention, the project became both a national reckoning and a personal act of healing for Darcy, who transformed grief into activism.

Pervasive misogyny—magnified by “manosphere” figures like Andrew Tate and his many imitators—is not a fringe problem but rather a cultural crisis that crosses all lines of ethnicity, race, and socioeconomics and does enormous damage to women, girls, and men themselves. It creates an onramp to online radicalization for young men and contributes to the growing problem of violence against women in public life.

Che cosa sta succedendo oggi ai maschi? Viviamo in un mondo in continuo cambiamento, con grandi contraddizioni, nel quale i ragazzi sono spesso iperprotetti o, al contrario, lasciati a se stessi; nel quale diventano vittime di modelli irrealistici che spopolano sui social media; nel quale le nuove generazioni di padri appaiono incapaci di assolvere al proprio ruolo educativo di esempi di una mascolinità emotivamente consapevole.

In Sweatshop Capital, Beth Robinson examines the brutal sweatshop labor conditions that produced American consumer goods from the late nineteenth through the early twenty-first centuries, as well as the labor and social movements that contested them. Arguing that sweatshop labor is a persistent feature of capitalism, she shows how manufacturers used both their influence in government and their mobility to sidestep US labor laws, maximize profits, and perpetuate abuses.

Jusqu'à récemment, les scientifiques se sont contentés d'étudier la norme mâle et nous ont livré ainsi moins de la moitié de l'histoire de l'évolution. Cette immense zone d'ombre ne relève pas seulement du sexisme ou d'un problème intellectuel : c'est un sujet de société et de santé publique, puisque, du fait de notre méconnaissance des corps biologiquement femelles, nous savons moins bien soigner les femmes que les hommes. On ne pouvait pas en rester là.

Women are called “crazy” so casually that the word has lost its meaning—yet its impact is everywhere. From childhood classrooms to marriages, workplaces, and motherhood, generations of women have been dismissed, minimized, and blamed for simply having needs, boundaries, or emotions. This book exposes the truth behind the label and dismantles the systems that keep women quiet, compliant, and chronically exhausted. Crazy Bitch explores why women internalize blame, why our reactions are pathologized, and how society benefits from our silence.

Parcourant l'ensemble des temps préhistoriques, de l'origine de l'humanité il y a 7 millions d'années jusqu'aux peuples de la protohistoire qui inventèrent l'écriture aux âges du Bronze il y a 5 000 ans, Claudine Cohen retrace le processus qui a conduit, en plusieurs étapes cumulatives, de l'apparition des premières traces de domination exercée par les hommes sur les femmes à l'institutionnalisation du patriarcat.
