Violence, accidents, addiction, discrimination, hate speech and extremism - men dominate the statistics of the abyss: they cause twice as many traffic accidents, commit by far the most crimes and therefore also occupy 94 percent of German prisons. 75 percent of alcohol-related deaths each year are male, and more than 80 percent of domestic violence is perpetrated by men.These figures not only represent pain and grief - they also generate immense costs. Boris von Heesen compiles for the first time, step by step, the price we all pay for toxic male behaviors: Over 57 billion euros they cost this country every year - at least. He explains the causes and shows ways in which we can counter this dramatic imbalance: by creating a society in which all genders can develop their potential free of patriarchal clichés and entrenched role patterns.
