      title = {Men's friendships as feminist politics? : power, intimacy,  and change /},
      abstract = {This book discusses mens friendships in relation to queer,  discursive, and intersectional feminist theories. It  analyses stories of intimacy, touch, hugs, and  conversations, connecting these with current discussions  within feminism and critical masculinity studies on "new"  men, mens political activism, and how friendships are lived  and conceptualised in relation to heteronormative  relationship ideals. Drawing on individual and dyadic  interviews with middle-class Swedish men, all engaged in or  sympathetic to feminist issues in some sense, this volume  shows that Swedish gender equality ideologies as well as  feminist, therapeutic, neo-liberal, and individualist  discourses prevalent in the Western world structured the  mens friendships and their engagement with gender politics.  Chapters cover friendship temporalities, gendered  friendship ideals, friendship as mens politics, and  friendship as performed in interaction. Bridging the  literatures of feminist research and friendship, the author  points to tensions and contradictions in pro-feminist mens  political projects and in contemporary masculine  positions.},
