When the last woman leaves the room

The consultants Vincent-Immanuel Herr and Martin Speer often find themselves in all-male circles. Whether in the meeting room or at the bar in the evening, they repeatedly notice how passionately many men argue against equality and the prevailing patriarchal thought and argument patterns. In their book, they share firsthand accounts of how men discuss sexism, gender issues, and quotas among themselves. They differentiate between various types, explain their concerns, and dissect statements like "This gender nonsense is just girl stuff. We have much more important problems." Because most men lack personal experience with discrimination, they grossly underestimate the situation and perceive exaggeration or even exploitation when women demand change. The book provides an honest analysis of the male mindset and concerns – and a plan for how we can turn them into allies in the fight for gender justice.
