Franz Jedlicka

Misogynization. How Men become Antifeminists. (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Most heterosexual men try to find a woman for a romantic relationship at some point in their lives. So you could say that most men love women. How is it, then, that some men develop negative feelings towards women and negative attitudes towards gender equality? In this Ebook, peace researcher Franz Jedlicka poses this question primarily to men, encouraging them to examine their own biographies more closely. He describes the process of "misogynization" as a series of negative experiences in the lives of individual men, which these men then generalize and project onto all women. Even social-psychological factors unrelated to gender relations can fuel misogyny and antifeminism, for example loneliness. Jedlicka knows from his previous research that gender equality is one of the most important factors for peace: the greater it is, the more peaceful a country is. This is his primary motivation for this essay, in which he also proposes ways in which men and women can resume dialogue on feminism during controversies.

Autorenporträt

Franz Jedlicka, born in Vienna, Austria, is a sociologist and peace researcher who is writing his dissertation at the University of Vienna on the social-psychological causes of war. He began by investigating the links between widespread violence in child rearing in various countries around the world and its negative impact on their peacefulness ("The Forgotten Peace Formula"). Later, he summarized other factors that indicate the acceptance of violence in a society in the "Culture of Violence Scale" and the "Culture of Violence Index." This index lists how many forms of violence are still legal in a country. From this, Jedlicka derived the "Legislation-Peace Nexus" approach, which states that countries that want to become sustainably peaceful must ban all forms of violence within their borders (starting with the prohibition of corporal punishment in child rearing). Jedlicka then coined the term "peace mainstreaming," which means that nonviolent conflict resolution should be practiced and taught in all areas of society, starting in schools. In addition, equal rights for women must be promoted and violence in the media reduced. Finally, measures to promote caring masculinity should be pushed forward.
