Does feminism give a much-needed voice to women in a patriarchal world? Or is the world not really patriarchal? Has feminism begun to level the playing field in a world in which women are more often paid less at work and abused at home? Or are women paid equally for the same work and notabused more at home? Does feminism support equality in education and in the military, or does it discriminate against men by ignoring such issues as male-only draft registration and boys lagging behind in school?The only book of its kind, this volume offers a sharp, lively, and provocative debate on the impact of feminism on men. Warren Farrell-an international best-selling author and leader in both the early women's and current men's movements-praises feminism for opening options for women butcriticizes it for demonizing men, distorting data, and undervaluing the family. In response, James P. Sterba-an acclaimed philosopher and ardent advocate of feminism-maintains that the feminist movement gives a long-neglected voice to women in a male-dominated world and that men are not anoppressed gender in today's America. Their wide-ranging debate covers personal issues, from love, sex, dating, and rape to domestic violence, divorce, and child custody. Farrell and Sterba also look through their contrasting lenses at systemic issues, from the school system to the criminal justicesystem; from the media to the military; and from health care to the workplace.

A Debate is ideal for courses in gender studies, sociology, psychology, economics, feminist philosophy, and contemporary moral issues.
