Unmade Bed e-bog

';Satisfying food for thought on the ever-changing dynamics of men and women as they interact and go about their individual lives' (Kirkus Reviews) as cultural commentator Stephen Marche examines contemporary male-female relationswith the help of his wife, writer and editor Sarah Fulford.One morning in New York City, Stephen Marche, then a new father and tenure-track professor, got the call: his wife had been offered her dream jobin Canada. Their decision to prioritize her career over his and move to Toronto sheds new light on the gender roles in their marriage (and in the world around them). As Marche provocatively argues, we are no longer engaged in a war of the sexes, but rather stuck together in a labyrinth of contradictions. And that these contradictions are keeping women from power and confounding male identity. The Unmade Bed is a deeply researched, deeply personal exploration into the moments in everyday life where women and men meet. After all, within offices and homes, on the street, online, and in bed, we constantly ask ourselves: What are we expected to sacrifice? Is it possible to be equal? As he attempts to answer these questions, Marche explores the issues that define our modern conversations on gender, from mansplaining and sexual morality to parenthood and divisions of the domestic sphere. In the process, he discovers that true power remains shockingly elusive for women while the idea of masculinity struggles in a state of uncertainty. The only way out of these mutual struggles is together. With footnote commentary throughout the book from Marche's wife, The Unmade Bed is a ';compelling' (The Globe and Mail, Toronto), uniquely balanced, and honest approach to the revolution going on in our everyday livesa thought-provoking work of social science that is sure to be a conversation starter.
