A Man's World: How Real is Male Privilege, and How High is its Price?

American Visions, Oct-Nov, 1995 by Sharon E. Wilkins

How Real Is Male Privilege - and How High Is Its Price? by Ellis Cose (HarperCollins. 1995. $ 22.00) - Are men in our society still at the top of the heap, or are affirmative action, feminism, and fear of sexual harassment charges conspiring to make them the "low men" on the totem pole? In A Man's World, Ellis Cose addresses the confusion felt by many men (not just the angry white males) regarding their new roles in the workplace, the home and society.

as such programs as affirmative action - which typically assists women and minorities - are being called into question by (predominantly male) politicians.
