About this listen

Revised and updated to include current studies, politics, and discussions, The Macho Paradox is the first book to show how violence against women is a male issue as well as a female one - and how we can come together to stop it.

Written by pioneering anti-violence educator Jackson Katz, The Macho Paradox incorporates the voices and experiences of women and men who have confronted the problem from all angles, the discussions surrounding currents events in politics and pop culture, and where the violence is ignored or encouraged in our upbringing. Katz also offers cogent explanations for why so many men harass and hurt women, and he shows what can be done to stop the violence.

By working together as allies, Katz shows how all genders can end the abuse and mistreatment of women.

A must read

So much pertinent information, critical to understanding the cultural dichotomy unraveling today in the me too movement as well as the cultural unrest looming in this nation

Must reading for every human being

Heard about Emma Watson leaving books for people to find on the underground and such? Please partner with her (and anyone else you can think of) to pepper the world with this wisdom. What a relief to hear a levelheaded treatment of what should be glaringly obvious to all, but remains hidden behind walls of denial, enabling, self-interest, and power mongering. Please clone yourself, Jackson.

Holy Crap We’ve Messed Up

All men need to listen to this book. Required reading. Even if you’re not violent against women or demeaning toward them, you need to learn how to address such behavior when you see it, and learn how growing up in our culture has affected your own mind in micro and macro ways. Hearing all of these stories and facts will give you the motivation you need to approach this issue.
