ABSTRACT
Let us now leave the gray, fl at, featureless domain of science to look for something new. Our science rather clumsily confi rms the stereotype about manliness, the stereotype that stands stubbornly in the way of the genderneutral society. But we already knew before science told us that men are more aggressive than women: Is there also something to be learned in this fact? In this chapter I will elevate manliness from aggression to assertion and thereby discover its connection to politics.
