Masculinity and the Meaning of Work

A Response to Manichean Feminism

Howard S. Schwartz

Oakland University

Men's attitude toward women is deeply ambivalent. Women are the centers of men's emotional lives, but men are deeply afraid of them. The meaning of male work arises from this ambivalence. It represents an attempt to engage and transform reality in order to gain connection with the female without becoming completely dependent on her. Manichean feminism is a form of feminism that sees gender differentiation as an opposition of the forces of goodness, identified with the female, against the forces of badness, identified with the male. It is based on the premise that reality can be denied, and represents the repudiation of males who engage it.
