Disarming Manhood; A Narrative-Based Critique
M. Sc., Conflict Analysis and Resolution, George Mason University
In Disarming Manhood; Roots of Ethical Resistance, David A.J. Richards theorizes on why some men are doomed to perpetuate patriarchy while others deviate into “democratic manhood”. A narrative analysis of Richards’ theory yields a narrative of masculinity so narrow it positions interventions into masculine violence nearly outside the reach of our field. But if considered loosely, Richards’ observations shed light on paths we can investigate.
