The Macho Paradox
Author: Jackson Katz
Publisher: Sourcebooks, Inc.
ISBN: 1492697133
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 486
Book Description
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. Praise for The Macho Paradox: "A candid look at the cultural factors that lend themselves to tolerance of abuse and violence against women."—Booklist "If only men would read Katz's book, it could serve as a potent form of male consciousness-raising."—Publishers Weekly "These pages will empower both men and women to end the scourge of male violence and abuse. Katz knows how to cut to the core of the issues, demonstrating undeniably that stopping the degradation of women should be every man's priority."—Lundy Bancroft, author of Why Does He Do That?: Inside the Minds of Angry and Controlling Men

Engaging Men in Sexual Assault Prevention
Author: Mary Stathopoulos
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781922038371
Category : Men
Languages : en
Pages : 20
Book Description
Sexual assault prevention has moved from risk-avoidance messages aimed at women to a more inclusive paradigm that proposes that both women and men have an important role to play in the prevention of all forms of violence against women. This paper looks at the role of men in sexual assault prevention and how men can be engaged as both educators and participants. It discusses the history of sexual assault prevention strategies, masculinities and sexual assault prevention, what is meant by engagement, challenges in engaging men, the use of masculine stereotypes to engage men in sexual assault and violence prevention, overcoming resistance, men's resistance to prevention messages, and the implications for practice. The paper also features comments from practitioners in the field and examples of primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention programs.

Languages : en
Pages : 385
Book Description
Victims of sexual assault experience their trauma in different ways, and often one path to recovery and healing is right for one person, but not right for another.

The chapters provide case examples and specific activities which give a fuller description of the ways survivors can make use of the particular approaches, which include mind-body practices, counseling, group therapies, self-defense training, and others. Anyone who has been a victim of sexual violence, or knows and cares about someone who has, will find relief in these pages, which offer practical approaches to finding balance and healing.
