The Macho Paradox: Why Some Men Hurt Women and How All Men Can Help

Джексон Кац

A fully revised and updated edition to a classic bestseller, The Macho Paradox is the first book to show how violence against women is a men’s issue―and how all genders can come together to stop it.

From the #MeToo movement to current discussions about gender norms in schools, sports, politics, and media culture, The Macho Paradox incorporates the voices and experiences of the women, men, and others who have confronted the problem of gender violence from all angles.

Bestselling author Jackson Katz is a pioneering educator and activist on the topic of men’s violence against women. In this revised edition of his heralded book, Katz outlines the ways in which cultural ideas about «manhood» contribute to men’s sexually harassing and abusive behaviors and that men have a positive role to play in challenging and changing the sexist cultural norms that too often lead to gender violence.

This important book for abused women covers topics ranging from mental and emotional abuse to sexual harassment to domestic violence and is a vital read for women with controlling partners or as a self-help book for men.
