520 _aThis book provides a unique insight into the sense of superiority, the 'masculine empire' which underpins men's sense of entitlement to being in charge in their homes. It explores ways in which men approach intimate relationships, their allegiance to their like-minded mates, and the role of male friendships in maintaining positions of power and capturing women in oppressive situations. It flips explanations for violence from what is happening in the minds of individual 'bad' men to a broader exploration of the social world of men. The book illustrates what can happen to both men and omen hen male oppression goes too far. It also looks at options men might take for turning away from their controlling and violent behaviour.
