Summary

Why does gender matter for understanding the world we live in now, a time of continual war, resurgent militarism, and hyperbolic, “toxic” masculinity? It matters because war is social, and therefore gendered. “If we see war as a way of establishing society,” Juliet Mitchell observes, then “peace has to be something we … work for against our norms,” beginning, I suggest, with our gender norms (Taneja, 2015: 266).
