A paradigm-shifting book about men's violence against women, how it affects us all, and what men especially can do to stop it.
Pervasive misogyny-magnified by "manosphere" figures like Andrew Tate and his many imitators-is not a fringe problem but rather a cultural crisis that crosses all lines of ethnicity, race, and socioeconomics and does enormous damage to women, girls, and men themselves. It creates an onramp to online radicalization for young men and contributes to the growing problem of violence against women in public life. The debate surrounding the release of the Epstein files and public cases, such as that of convicted rapist Dominique Pelicot, have reignited calls for accountability around the widespread sexual exploitation and abuse of women and girls. Jackson Katz offers a refreshingly candid diagnosis of this problem and outlines a series of actionable steps for men, women and everyone. These include concrete measures that "bystanders" can take to interrupt misogynistic abuse, as well as practical suggestions for men in positions of cultural influence and community, institutional, and political leadership.
Every Man is a call for men to be proactive leaders, to dismantle the attitudes and systems that enable gender violence, and to help build a society in which gender equity and safety are seen as both a shared responsibility and a national priority.
Reviews:
"If Black people alone could have ended white supremacy, trust me, it would be long gone. Similarly, if violence against women could be ended by women only, this vital book would have been unnecessary. Jackson Katz deftly points out the harm men experience when violence against women is ignored or minimized. He shows how men can recover their souls and their integrity by working to end it. Every Man should be on the reading list of everyone who desires a more peaceful and just world." -- Loretta J. Ross, author of Calling In: How to Start Making Change with Those You'd Rather Cancel
"Gaining the ability and confidence to interrupt sexist behavior from men is the main purpose of Katz's book... a practical toolkit for men to think about ways in which they can challenge difficult behavior" -- The Guardian
