For decades, Joseph Campbell had defined our cultural aspirations in The Hero with a Thousand Faces, emphasizing the value of seeking glory and earning immortality.

"Verantwortungsvoll ejakulieren" ist der provokante Debattentext für alle, die keine Angst davor haben, patriarchal geprägte Tabus zu brechen. Gabrielle Blair knöpft sich in diesem New York Times-Bestseller den Mythos vor, dass Verhütung Frauensache sei. In 28 bestechenden Argumenten legt sie dar, warum sich Männer darum kümmern müssen – aus physiologischen ebenso wie aus Gerechtigkeitsgründen. Denn Männer können lebenslang 24/7 Kinder zeugen, während Frauen pro Zyklus nur einen Tag fruchtbar sind. Darüber hinaus können Frauen ihren Eisprung nicht verhindern, während Männer ihren Samen durchaus lenken können – und sei es in ein Kondom.

Yet, as psychologist and avid knitter Nicole Nehrig explores in this captivating book, textile work has often been a way for women to exercise power.
