Jackson Katz's approach is simple and profound. This book reframes the issue of violence against women as men's violence against women. He says that violence against women has traditionally been seen as a "women's issue" but that we must come to see it as a "men's issue" because men commit the vast majority of violence. He clearly illustrates how masculinity is a concept that needs to be redefined in order to prevent violence against women, and violence in general. It is surely one of those books that will permanently alter your perception. Everyone who has an interest in anti-sexist work must read this. I would argue that EVERYONE has an interest in anti-sexist work. Therefore, you should READ IT!
