Boys don't cry!
Ce livre analyse les discours « masculinistes », tels qu'ils s'affirment par exemple dans certaines organisations de pe?res divorce?s. Co?te? scientifique, l'enjeu est clair : il s'agit de poursuivre le travail de de?construction de la domination masculine en montrant que celle-ci n'a rien de naturel.
