Sinds #MeToo ligt de man onder vuur als patriarch en onderdrukker. Feminisme bloeit en de man raakt uit de mode. Maar zitten er ook voordelen aan het riskante gedrag van mannen? Maarten Huygen springt in de bres in zijn boek ‘Het nut van de man’. Sinds #MeToo ligt de man, vooral de witte, opnieuw onder vuur als wellustig patriarch en geprivilegieerd onderdrukker. Feminisme bloeit en de man raakt uit de mode. Wat blijft erover van mannelijkheid? Is die uitsluitend aangeleerd of zit er ook een biologisch element in? Doet dat ertoe? Zijn er ook voordelen aan het riskante gedrag en de monomanie van veel mannen? Wat kunnen mannen van vrouwen leren en wat kunnen vrouwen van mannen leren? Zijn alle verschillen te wijten aan seksisme? Moeten mannen meer huilen? Maarten Huygen beschrijft mannenvriendschap en vaderschap. Niet alleen de mannen aan de top maar ook de mannen aan de onderkant komen aan de orde. Hoe is de sfeer op de vuilniswagen? Jongens hebben een achterstand in het onderwijs. Mannen krijgen vaker ongelukken en kapotte rugwervels door hun werk. In een combinatie van reportage en analyse fileert Huygen een van de belangrijkste thema’s van onze tijd.
