Abstract

Issue two of New Male Studies: An International Journal for 2023 offers a variety of articles representing the current state of male-related scholarship. The authors examine topics as varied as the maternal influence on sons, gynocentric female characters in film, a mythological alternative to conventional feminist understandings of masculinities, and the harm done by gynocentrism and misandry. Suggestions are made to improve the plight of males by offering male-celebratory rewards, by suggesting ways to engage men in wellbeing initiatives, by overcoming gynocentric and misandric bias, and by understanding what might be at stake in the boyosphere.
