In recent years, we have dwelt at length on how patriarchy harms women. On the negative impact it has on women’s employment, on domestic violence, on rights. But what are the effects of patriarchy on men? And on children? From the bestselling author of Bedtime Stories for Rebel Girls comes a reflection, and a collection of fairy tales, on what it means to grow up male today.
FAROUT Live Arts Festival Francesca Cavallo — Storie Spaziali per Maschi del Futuro
presentazione
How does the world become when males refuse to wage war? Or when they do not have to be heroes to feel loved? Can there be a fairy tale in which the integrity of the prince matters more than that of the kingdom?
