Stiffed
The Betrayal of Modern Man

Picks up where Faludi's previous book "Backlash" left off. It seeks to understand male behaviour in order to close the chasm between the sexes, and asks why men are so fearful and aggressive in the face of women's independence

From industrial workers to modern war veterans, from astronauts to porn actors, Stiffed examines men whose sense that they have lost jobs, skills, roles, wives and a secure future is only one symptom of a wider betrayal.
