Man's Will to Hurt: Investigating the Causes, Supports and Varieties of His Violence (Basics from Fernwood Publishing) - Kuypers, Joseph A.

Tight, unmarked; light stains to upper edge; otherwise absolute minimal wear; The author of this book contends that men have a Will to Hurt. He argues that, as a social construction, men's use and threat of pain achieves many "benefits": power, profit, pleasure, sexual legitimacy and membership in male organized society. It is argued that men have difficulty seeing the problems with their violence due to this considerable self interest in maintaining it. It shows how male violence is entrenched in society and infused into concepts of masculinity and sexuality. It identifies how men 'pump up' their violence while denying that they are doing anything wrong.
