The Male Machine
The Male Machine is a book by Marc Fasteau written during the second-wave of feminism in the United States. It was published on September 1, 1974, by McGraw-Hill. The book examined the damaging gender expectations faced by men.[1][2] Drawing upon personal insights and experiences, the author explores myths about masculinity and their destructive impact on society.[3][4][5] ReleaseThe book was published on September 1, 1974, and had its third printing by December 1974. The book received both a hardcover and paperback release.[6] The book is currently out of print. ReceptionThe book was heavily applauded upon release by feminist publications such as Ms. magazine, whose co-founder Gloria Steinem hailed Fasteau as "spy in the ranks of the white male elite" and declared him and the men's liberation movement "the revolution’s other half".[6] But the book received less favorable criticism outside of the feminist circle. Larry McMurtry of The New York Times said, "The analysis [in the book] is sometimes keen and always heartfelt, but a certain fevered urgency blurs the tone."[7] See alsoReferences
