The book adopts a multidisciplinary approach, incorporating sociology, political science, and gender studies to understand this phenomenon. It traces the historical development of the male protector role from primitive societies to the modern era, then analyzes the impact of the welfare state on this role. Finally, it examines cultural dimensions, such as changing gender norms and media portrayals of masculinity.
The analysis progresses methodically, using both statistical data and qualitative insights to provide a comprehensive understanding of the complex issue of social cohesion. This book offers valuable insights for those interested in the evolution of gender roles, social policy, and the modern welfare state.
