"In Stiffed, Susan Faludi turns her powers of reporting and analysis to the problems of men and comes up with a revolutionary diagnosis. Men's problems aren't the product of biology, or of such trumped-up enemies as feminism and affirmative action, but of a modern social tragedy. By listening to men's stories in their own voices, by taking them on their own terms, Faludi uncovers a buried history - the untold story of how America made a glittering set of promises to the men of the baby-boom generation...and proceeded to break every one of them."--BOOK JACKET. "What keeps men from revolting against their circumstances? Faludi's explanation for that mystery opens up the possibility that men's coming rebellion could emancipate both sexes from their true and mutual enemy, a cultural force that constrains us all. Stiffed is a major reassessment of what it is to be a man in modern America."--BOOK JACKET.

Examining the turn‑of‑the‑century shift in American masculinity, this book traces how evolving ideals linked primitive virility with white superiority.
