‘Zurawski v. Texas’ is more than a film—it’s a powerful window into the real-life consequences of abortion bans and what happens when politicians force their way into the most personal moments of people’s lives.

Wie viel Einfluss aus dem Netzwerk fundamentalistischer Abtreibungsgegner entstehen kann, sieht man gut, wenn man die Aufruhr und Menge der Berichterstattung jetzt vergleicht mit April 2024, als der Bericht der Kommission zu §218 StBG erschien – und danach die Ampel monatelang nichts tat.

Background to the call
It is a prescient irony, given the stubborn conception that men ‘don’t express feelings’, that the contemporary bonds, behaviours and excesses of masculinity are so deeply immersed in emotion. It has long been recognised that that men’s conflicts are steeped in emotional experiences and dynamics of shame, irritability and anger (Men’s Project and Flood 2024). Similarly, hegemonic and toxic acts often stem from emotions such as pride and fear (Connell and Messerschmidt 2005). Traditional masculinities have also been implicated in men’s desires and struggles to master their own and other’s emotions, whether this be in the context of emotional control (Barrett & Bliss-Moreau, 2009), couple relationships (McQueen, 2017) or emotional flooding (Malik et al 2020). Other works have advanced the study of masculine emotion beyond these dynamics. Some have pointed out that emotional suppression leaves a stark legacy for many men, making them more susceptible to distress and suicide (River and Flood 2021).
More recent studies have focussed on the presence and role of more positive emotions in men’s lives. ‘Inclusive’ masculine acts are often steeped in care, respect and love (Anderson 2018, Elliott 2019). National surveys reveal that while men’s ‘primary’ (surface) emotions confirm to hegemonic stereotypes of male emotion (e.g. confidence), their ‘secondary’ emotions are commonly care based and oriented towards families (Patulny et al 2017). Other studies point to the important role of emotions such as pride, fun and confidence in the formation of homosocial bonds (Messner 2013) and focus on men’s capacity to consider emotional reflexively, rather than reject it in favour of ‘rationality’ (Holmes 2015).
Yet these studies touch on only a handful of the many issues now surfacing around men, masculinities and emotions. Thoughtful consideration of the many ways in which masculinities and emotions are interlinked and reinforce each other is missing in many co…
• Multiple masculinities and feelings
• Masculine emotional regimes
• Collective emotions and men’s movements
• Theorising masculinity and emotion
• How men manage and hide emotions
• Men's social isolation and loneliness
• Men’s emotions, women’s outcomes
• Queer masculinities and emotions
• Boyhood feelings
• Older men and emotional precocity
• Father’s feelings
• Changing families, intimacies and masculinities
• Men’s emotional performances in online spaces
• Working Class Men and their emotions
• Migrant masculinities and emotion
• Emotions in the manosphere

Es ist das Buch „Mein drittes Leben“ von Daniela Krien zu sehen, allerdings in der Ausgabe der Büchergilde Gutenberg. Dort sind auf dem Cover drei Zitronen auf einem blauen Hintergrund abgebildet. Das Buch liegt zusammen mit drei Zitronen auf einem runden Untersetzer.
„Mein drittes Leben“ von Daniela Krien hat mich als tiefgehende Geschichte über Trauerbewältigung außerordentlich berührt. Die Autorin „findet Worte für das, wofür es eigentlich keine Worte gibt!“ (Zitat aus einem Insta-Kommentar)

“It is honestly only now that I am starting to panic about my child’s future,” Prof. @lisaschipper.bsky.social said.
“When she was born in 2013, I felt more optimistic about the possibility of reducing emissions. […] So it’s bleak.”
