hat is the most fundamental criterion people use to cate­ gorize each other? Look around, and the answer that pre­ W sents itself is sex and gender—male or female, feminine or masculine. Of all possible ways people define each other, sexual identity appears the most significant. But although 'correct' attitudes and behavior for men and women were fixed and obvious for cen­ turies, today they no longer are. As a matter of fact, gender roles have been one of society's most per­ sistent problems, at least since World War II. In particular, women's rebellion against expectations placed on them has created momentous social upheaval, change and improvement. Now, after feminism has held center stage for several decades, it is men's turn. Like women thirty by years ago, men are challenging what society wants them to do and to be. Two recent books which on the surface appear very different—and both of which have created media sensations—investigate this Norbert Schurer phenomenon and reach surprisingly similar conclusions.

ne of the two books is Stiffed: The Betrayal of the American Man, a 650-page tome by card-car­ Orying feminist and Pulitzer Prize-winning author Susan Faludi. Just a few weeks after its publica­ tion, this volume has already generated major controversy. Feminists are upset because Faludi seems to imply that men are as little to blame for their plight as women are for theirs, while many a man has complained that Faludi diagnoses a crisis that doesn't exist. Critics are unsure in their assessment of Stiffed. In local circles, Chronicle columnist Maureen McClarnon claimed that Faludi was saying society was "leaving the average guy out in the cold"—without having been able to read the book. Actually, Stiffed is a competently written, engagingly argued and brilliantly reported look at men in U.S. culture since World War II. The book only has one major fault: It takes 600 pages to arrive at a clear analysis of the problem, and 20 more to suggest a solution. On the journey to page 600, the reader is treated to—or assaulted with—a plethora of men's narratives. Faludi's main technique is to tell two parallel stories that illuminate and comment on each other: the closing of the Long Beach Shipyard and the layoffs at McDonnell Douglas down the road; the career of the creator of Rambo, David Morrell, and Rambo's on-screen embodiment Sylvester Stallone; a member of the Spur Posse in California and a soldier at the Citadel in South Carolina. Faludi explains that she has paid special attention to individuals on the margins of society such as members of the Dawg Pound in Cleveland, male porn stars and right-wing con­ spiracy theorists. It turns out that all of these men are facing the same four-layered predicament, which Faludi describes using the metaphor of an artichoke. All four of these layers combine to make men unable to fulfill the expectations that society has for them as men. In other words, Faludi argues, although U.S. society is still male-domi­ ng nated, there is only a very small number of men who are doing the dominating, £p i.e., living the roles they are supposed to. friday, October fifteen, nineteen-hundred ninety-nine

On the first level, Faludi explains, men have been hit by an economic downturn and restruc­ turing, which has either left them unemployed or forced them into less skilled and more meaningless professions. This downturn has been accompanied by a betrayal from compa­ nies and society at large, which men were brought up to serve loyally. On a third level, men have experienced a loss of patrimony, that is, their fathers have failed in their role of providing "a human bridge connecting the boy to an adult life of public engagement and responsibility." Finally, the core of men's problems in contemporary society is what Faludi calls the ornamen- talization of culture, the concept that only appearances (rather than substance) matter any more.

t this point Faludi's Stiffed inadvertently meets another Abook which has been receiving press attention: For Common Things by Jedediah Purdy. Purdy is a 24-year-old young man who grew up home-schooled in the mountains of West Virginia but went on to attend Harvard University and now Yale Law School. His book was described in as "impressive," and Time called it "an achingly ambitious mani­ festo from a very young man who happens to be, alarmingly often, elo­ quent beyond his years." Purdy's main target in For Common Things is irony. He strenuously argues that U.S. culture has been eroded by an inability to act passionate­ ly. This passionlessness expresses itself in all-pervasive irony in language and culture and, Purdy writes, is incarnated in Jerry Seinfeld. Purdy bemoans the fact that most of this country feels a strong disillusionment with politics—another sign, he believes, of the United States succumbing to irony. Unfortunately, most of this slim volume is rather disappointing; The prose is tortured, the argument more intuitive than bolstered by any evidence, etymology is repeatedly used as if it illuminates issues and Purdy proves to be obsessed with personal issues (such as strip-mining in West Virginia) that strike a jarring chord in a book that purports to give up individual crusades for the good of the community. The volume is in part a collection of previously published essays, and Purdy does not seem to have gone through the trouble of developing a coherent argument from them.

evertheless, at a second glance, Purdy's observations on irony show a surprising similarity to NFaludi's claims about the omamentalization of culture. Both argue that the culture in which engage­ ment for the common good was what made a man a man has been diminished, leaving a shell which no longer allows man to leave his mark on the world. For Purdy, men {he does his best to make his argument gender-neutral, but cannot help mostly writing about men) are experiencing "a fear of betrayal, disappointment and humilia­ tion, and a suspicion that believing, hoping or caring too much will open us to these." , since World War II, "usefulness to society meant less and less and celebri- tyhood ever more," and now we are "surrounded by a culture that encourages people to play almost no functional public roles." Faludi cer­ tainly has a more comprehensive vision in that she can see public roles beyond politics (even beyond Purdy's loose and vague definition of poli­ tics) in the arenas of work and the family, but both authors are making the same point. The loss of meaning or usefulness in society leads men to lose their center and respond with irony. To Purdy, straightforwardly, men's words "are superficial, they belong to other people and other purposes; they are not ours, and it may be that nothing is properly ours." In the parallel passage in Stiffed, Faludi even uses Purdy's favorite word: She writes that "in a celebrity cul­ ture, earnestness about social and political change is replaced by a pose of 'irony' that is really just a sullen and helpless paralysis." Both recognize a discrepancy between how men want to act—responsible, pragmatic, utilitarian—and how contemporary culture urges them to behave. And although it might seem easy to slip into the prescribed role of domination, actually most men are at a loss in a culture where only a miniscule proportion of the population will ever experience any real kind of power.

n their solutions to this dilemma, neither Faludi nor Purdy are very helpful. IPurdy has no better suggestion than to appeal to people's consciences to ""* return to more constructive forms of interaction. However, his book is doomed from the start: His 'opponents' the ironists will not be able to fol­ low his argument, since it is based on the very passion they deny, and activists will already agree with him. Faludi's answer to the questions she presents is definitely more interest­ ing: She suggests that men have to join forces with feminists, who have J 1 % reached an impasse in their own struggle because they have misidentified men as their enemy. To Faludi, both men and women have to fight the common foe: the omamentalization of culture. Although this is probably a 1 correct assessment, Faludi gives few specific ideas on how to engage in this s battle. But maybe that should be left for activists such as Purdy. Faludi's strength is her ability to tell stories; Purdy's is his conviction on specific issues, if these two join forces, they might be able to topple the concepts of masculinity that have imprisoned men—and women—for centuries. y i p a DQSCgS©© g e Short roundup Two new anthologies deliver tx KK the best short fiction of 1999.

Duke finally notched a mark in the win column last week with an incredible 24-17 overtime victory at Virginia. Ga Tech was extremely lucky to survive a 31 -24 OT victory at UNC, in a game where Joe Hamilton turned the ball over four limes. With Peler Warrick's Heisman chances tarnished, Hamilton now becomes the favorite; he'll have to do a better job, how­ ever, of protecting the ball. Tech should not have problems putting points on the board, and how Duke responds early will be crucial. Can Duke pull another Montgomery-to-Flowers out of its bag of tricks, or will Franks design another razzle-dazzle play to confuse the Jackets? All trickery aside, Georgia Tech 42, Duke 26.
