The Male Ego
Psychoanalyst Gaylin (Rediscovering Love) explores the male experience and presents evidence of a critical deterioration in the pride and self-confidence of American men. In a culture which no longer provides distinct means of support for the male ego, the answer, according to Gaylin, lies not in role reversal or in the "feminization" of the male, but in a gradual blurring of the gender roles with the eventual emergence of men and women still different but equally worthy of respect.

Such hatred goes beyond mere emotion. Hatred, Gaylin explains, is a psychological disorder -- a form of quasi-delusional thinking. It requires forming "a passionate attachment," an obsessive involvement with the scapegoat population. It is designed to allow the angry and frustrated individual ...
