Based on her bestseller “Toxic Womanhood,” Sophia Fritz formulates an empathetic critique of being a man that does not accuse, but wants to understand.

The man, a victim? No — and yes. It is still primarily men who govern, own, decide and win. But behind this dominance, there is a contradictory reality: men block out, ignore others, remain silent and disappear. They are missing, in families and partnerships, each other and themselves. Starting from the loss of her brother, Sophia Fritz explores becoming a man in the present day. She searches for the cultural and emotional mechanisms that explain why masculinity in its current form creates so much pain — for those who embody it and for those who suffer from it. According to “Toxic Womanhood,” “The Man, the Victim” is an urgently needed and empathetic critique of patriarchal masculinity, but above all it is an invitation to replace it with something new, freer and more vulnerable.
