This book offers a uniquely psychoanalytic and phenomenological perspective on masculinity. Karlsson considers masculinity and traditional masculine ideals through a psychoanalytic lens before taking phenomenological concepts to chisel out the relationship between sex and gender. This perspective is developed throughout the volume to inspire readers to further their understanding of traditional gender assignment female male and intersex in light of gendered characteristics such as femininity and masculinity. Chapters span topics such as the characteristics of typical so - called phallic masculinity its allure and psychogenetic explanation as well as looking at what phallic masculinity disregards. Throughout Karlsson maintains that phallic masculinity is unattainable as it seeks to escape the existential conditions of helplessness vulnerability and dependence.
