An insightful, bold and creative exploration that challenges the foundations of gender and sexuality Written by one of the world's leading experts on gender identity and men and masculinities, this landmark book explains why women and men are not just living apart, but growing apart - a gender divergence now impacting not just marriage, birth rates and divorce, but all sexual relationships. Weaving a personal narrative with global evidence and research, Stephen Whitehead charts the gender revolution and the rise in women's independent femininity, while explaining why many men remain stuck in a traditional masculine past. Concluding with suggestions as to how we might avoid The End of Sex, Whitehead nevertheless warns, 'AI awaits and will have its day'. This is more than just a book; it's a conversation starter, a mirror, and an invitation to reflect. A thought-provoking and ambitious work that captures the global scale of the gender divergence we are seeing today.
