They represent different branches of the men's movement as they discuss their understandings of masculinities. Topics include: Overview of Men's Changing Roles, What We Teach Boys about Masculinities, Pro-Feminism, Father Absence is a Key Issue, Differences between Feminism and Equalism, Men's Groups and Community, and Solutions and Models. Countries represented include: Brazil, Britain, Canada, China, France, Germany, Iceland, India, Kenya, Netherlands, South Africa, United States, and Zambia. Profesor Robert Morrell observed from South Africa, "In a world of polarization, suspicion, and hostility, Dr. Kimball offers us the chance to occupy middle ground and talk about difficult gender stuff, a great job in putting the two sides (and more) of the debates in ways that promote discussion rather than polarize."
