The End of Love: Racism, Sexism, and the Death of Romance - Sabrina Strings

Descriere The End of Love: Racism, Sexism, and the Death of Romance - Sabrina Strings

From Playboy to Jay Z, the racial origins of toxic masculinity and its impact on women, especially Black and insufficiently white women \nMore men than ever are refusing loving partnerships and commitment, and instead seeking out situationships. When these men deign to articulate what they are looking for in a steady partner, they'll often rely on superficial norms of attractiveness rooted in whiteness and anti-Blackness. \n \nConnecting the past to the present, sociologist Sabrina Strings argues that following the Civil Rights movement and the integration of women during the Second Wave Feminist movement, men aimed to hold on to their power by withholding love and commitment, a basic tenet of white supremacy and male domination, that served to manipulate all women. From pornography to hip hop, women--especially Black and insufficiently white women--were presented as gold diggers, props for masturbation, and side-pieces. \n \nUsing historical research, personal stories, and critical analysis, Strings argues that the result is fuccboism, the latest incarnation of toxic masculinity. This work shows that men are not innately toxic. Nor do they hate love, commitment, or sex. Instead, men across race have been working a new code to effectively deny loving partnerships to women who are not pliant, slim, and white as a new mode of male domination.\n
