ABSTRACT

What are anti-sexist men? Do they really exist? In order to identify the subject matter of this book a distinction is needed between the terms ‘anti-sexist’ and ‘non-sexist.’ To be ‘anti-sexist’ means having an active stance opposed to sexism, whereas the term ‘non-sexist’ indicates an ideal way of relating to women, to which anti-sexist men aspire, not necessarily fully achieved. The research presented in this book aimed to study anti-sexist men, who undoubtedly exist, rather than possibly non-existent beings who are completely non-sexist.
