<p>Here is a powerful reply to Iron John, a fresh look at the complicated nature of what R.W. Connell calls masculinities. One of the most important voices in the new feminist scholarship by men, Connell provides a nuanced and incisive analysis of how our notions of masculinity have evolved in psychoanalysis, social science, and historically in the creation of a global economy. There is not one but many masculinities, he claims, in a bold critique of the men's movement and other simplistic approaches to sexual identity. Instead, Connell delineates the complicated dynamics of masculine politics and recent changes in male identity.<br>Drawing on rich ethnographic work, Connell offers portraits of dozens of men of different classes, some working to change masculinities, some resisting change. Eel openly disparages his wife: The first chance I can see to get rid of her, she's gone. Mark, who calls himself a very straight gay, thinks men should behave in traditionally masculine ways. If you're a guy why don't you just act like a guy? he asks. Danny, undertaking the long haul of his own sexism, admits, It's hard not to be aggressive sometimes.<br>Connell offers the first critical history
