"New research reported in this book shows that portrayals of men and male identity in contemporary western societies are overwhelmingly negative and that men today are extensively demonized, marginalized, trivialized and objectified in mass media. The study concludes that, unless addressed, the effects of negative discourse on the self-identity and self-esteem of men, and especially boys growing up, are potentially devastating and that the longer-term and wider social implications will also be costly."--Jacket.
