Unheroic Conduct: The Rise of Heterosexuality and the Invention of the Jewish Man - Contraversions: Critical Studies in Jewish Literature, Culture, and Society 1st edition
Daniel Boyarin
Offers an alternative to the Euro-American warrior/patriarch model of masculinity and recovers the Jewish ideal of the gentle, receptive male. Analyzing ancient and modern texts, this book reveals early rabbis - studious, family-oriented - as exemplars of manhood and the prime objects of female desire in traditional Jewish society.
