3. For Karst, the psychological and sociological roots of the social issues agenda are found in the ideology of masculinity, the anxieties of manhood, and expressions of control and dominance; and all aspects of the agenda—from the politics of motherhood and sexual orientation to those of race and crime—speak to the anxieties of manhood. See Section entitled “A Deferred Prologue: The Anxieties of Manhood and the Expression of Power” (pp. 31-37).
