About this audiobook
Written by pioneering anti-violence educator Jackson Katz, The Macho Paradox incorporates the voices and experiences of women and men who have confronted the problem from all angles, the discussions surrounding currents events in politics and pop-culture, and where the violence is ignored or encouraged in our upbringing. Katz also offers cogent explanations for why so many men harass and hurt women, and he shows what can be done to stop the violence.
By working together as allies, Katz shows how all genders can end the abuse and mistreatment of women.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5
Starts off well and then flags towards the end, with the last third being a bit repetitive and lacking the energy of the beginning.
Should be required reading for most men and most leaders. I suspect a lot of what I have just read will take time to settle and come to terms with.
If you're a bloke...read it. It will give you the tools to be a slightly better you, and then it will be up to you to use them. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Excellent book. I recommend that all (men and women) read this, it's difficult to see how much of an effect gender relations have on us all. Socially-constructed notions of masculinity and femininity need to be changed, we are supposed to be an egalitarian society, let's live up to our name.
