The Story
Men's lives today are very different from those lived by their fathers. Many men are now asking what they want out of life and whether their existence is as satisfying and fulfilling as they would like it to be - in short, what it means to be male in the 1990s. Jan Bowen asks 14 Australian men from a wide variety of backgrounds how they see themselves. Have men come to terms with the post-feminist changes in male-female relationships? Do they enjoy their work or is it simply a daily grind? How important are their families and their friendships? What about the so-called "men's movement"? And what do men see as important contemporary issues?
