A cap on men instead of a quota for women?!

Male-dominated cultures characterised by power, violence and silence often stand in the way of social change.
But how can we discuss masculinity critically?
What privileges do men enjoy by virtue of their gender – and why does structural inequality in politics, business, culture and the media often remain invisible to men?
Christoph May, a men’s studies researcher and co-founder of the Institute for Critical Men’s Studies, will address
these and other questions during a lecture followed by a discussion at Hochschule München.
The event is open to people of all genders and is aimed in particular at men and those who have been socialised as male.
