Quotes
“It is certainly unfair that because some men rape women, all men can be looked at as potential rapists. But who should men be mad at? Women for not trusting them? How about being angry at men who rape women, who give the rest of the male sex a bad name?”
Jackson Katz, The Macho Paradox (82)
"What's waiting on the other side of this is if men actively stand up, confront other men around these sorts of things, actively take this kind of individual responsibility, not only will women be safer, but men will have qualitatively better relationships with women and with other men."
Michael Kimmel from a 1998 PBS Frontline interview
“Would the general public be endlessly focused on men’s experience of victimization at the hands of women? Would people be constantly asking: why do men stay with the women who beat them? Somehow I don’t think so. I think most of us – especially men – would be honing in on the source of the problem – women’s behavior. We would ask, rightly, “What the hell is going on with women? How are we going to get them to stop assaulting us?”
Jackson Katz, The Macho Paradox (15-16)
