Much writing on men in the field of gender studies tends to focus unduly, almost exclusively, on male violence, rape, homophobia, racism and sexism, portraying men as villains and women as victims in a moral bi-polar paradigm. The Wars Against Men seeks to reverse this proclivity which ignores not only the positive contributions of men to society, but also the male victims of life, such as the homeless, the incarcerated, the victims of homicide, suicide, accidents, war and the draft, as well as those affected by the failures of the health, education, political and justice systems.
