“父权制像一团地底深处的火，几千年来不断蔓延，烧向大地。……尽管放火的人不是我们，但现在救火全靠我们。”.《性别打结》是一部出版于1997年的性别社会学著作，其影响却延续至今。这本书论述的出发点是阐明了“父权制是什么”，它何以成为了我们习焉不察的社会结构，根深蒂固地影响着人们思维、习惯以及几乎全部的生活。不管男人、女人，所有人无往不在父权制的枷锁之中，却又都对此视而不见：“父权制最可怕的地方在于，它让世界上一半的人与另一半的人互斗。”同时，本书独特之处在于作者的异性恋男性身份。作为一位“父权制中的既得利益者”，作者从男性视角解构父权制，剖析了“男性既享有特权，又对父权制感到无能为力”的矛盾现象，阐述了两性在建构父权制当中的共同参与，却并不为了非责怪这些受害者，而将矛头直指结构性的根源：解开性别之结，突破男女对立，从零开始打响父权制反击战！作者详细论述了普通人如何通过自己的行动削弱父权制，而倡导最直接受益于社会建制的男性更应勇于发声。他鼓励每个人在生活中消除性别对立的戾气，增进两性...
