Jackson Katz Interview

Jackson Katz discusses his book The Macho Paradox: Why Some Men Hurt Women and How All Men Can Help. Today in America between 1 in 5 women will be the victim of rape or attempted rape in their lifetime, and one prominent study found that at least 20% of adolescent girls have been physically or sexually abused by a date or a boyfriend. Katz provides women with original and creative ways of thinking about how to reverse this ongoing national tragedy. He also makes a case to men that the only way to end the abuse and mistreatment of women is for many more self-identified “good guys” to make these issues their own. Recorded December 12, 2006
