Professor Michael Kimmel makes the case that expanding gender equality has benefits for both men and women. Increasing productivity, happiness, satisfaction, life expectancy and well-being have all been linked to the enactment of gender equality in relationships. More specifically, Kimmel argues that the recent generation of younger men are more likely to enact greater gender equality and are much more open to egalitarian relationships. Other social analysts, such as Robert Jensen and Gail Dines, argue that popular culture and media both reflect and reinforce gender inequality. These authors present evidence that younger men and women are highly unequal and are unlikely to develop a feminist (or egalitarian) worldview. They argue that current pornographic media represents the latest manifestation of inequality and the social and sexual subjugation of women. Given the mass consumption of violent and dehumanizing pornography and the alarmingly high rates of sexual violence in America, how is the gender equality that Kimmel discusses to be realized? How can the divergent (and perhaps contradictory) trends offered by these analysts be reconciled? 

*After watching the Ted Talks by Michael Kimmel and Gail Dines, reading the interview with Gail Dines, and reading the article by Robert Jensen, outline the prospects for gender equality.

*Your post should be focused on answering the following:

Are the benefits of egalitarian relationships for men strong enough to outweigh the potential feelings of power and control that are gained through sexual domination?

How does Kimmel’s approach differ from Dines and Jensens’?

What are the key barriers to gender equality according to Kimmel, Dines and Jensen?

How might a radical feminist perspective challenge patriarchy and lead to greater “freedom” for both men and women?

Important!!! *Citing evidence from all 4 sources (Follow the ASA guide for all in-text citations. For example, if the page number of the article is visible then cite it like this (McChesney 2012: 2) (Name of the article or video, the year, and the page #) but if there is no page then just write it like this (McChesney 2012)

Also craft a 500+ word initial response that outlines the possibility of positive social change given the various social, cultural and historical barriers that are present.
