"In this exploration of how male anxiety has come to define our political culture, Stephen J. Ducat shows the link between the desperate macho strutting of male politicians, the gender gap in voting behavior, and fundamentalist holy wars - three striking political phenomena of the twenty-first century. He argues that a direct association exists between the magnitude of a man's femiphobia - that is, his terror of being perceived as feminine - and his tendency to embrace right-wing political opinions."--BOOK JACKET.
