Özet
 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 Abuse Gender Studies Personal Development Relationships Social Sciences Ayrımcılık

I liked how it covered most angles, including how we are educating men as well as boys
what I didn't like is that the audio version, whilst taking the opportunity to look at issues as they now stand a decade after writing the book, did not mention a huge issue of trans gender; specifically men now presenting as women, and how that affects the dynamics of women's safety moving forward.
Great book though

A well balanced look at gender violence and the culture of men and women

I'm still at the beginning and I will keep listening because I know the author's work, his commitment and his generosity, so I trust the book will tell me much of his experience as an activist who speaks to men against gender violence. The only problem I have so far is the reading, incredibly monotonous and flat: despite the burning human content of the book, and despite the author's explicit warnings against becoming desensitized to this topic, he seems to be reading the news, I hear no difference in tone from the quotes, to the stories, to the arguments made in the book. I will power through, because as I said I need to know the content, but the reader is merely acknowledging the text and doesn't do much to make it compelling or engaging...

This is a must read for everyone. Have bought this for 3 male friends who I love and adore but think they would benefit from reading. Thank goodness books like this are being written. Thank you Jackson Katz.

the entire book

Firstly, I’d like to say that I really did learn a lot from the author, I’ve found his work via a podcast interview and that led me to delve deeper.

It’s an enlightening listening experience but I have to say that I found the timbre of the narration a little difficult to stay engaged with. Maybe it’s because I’m an English man coming to the audiobook but for me it upbeat style belied the serious nature of the discussion.

Still I learnt a great deal that I will take away from this.

Jackson Katz clearly and concisely debunks the myth that men’s violence against women and girls is a ‘woman’s issue’ and whilst he acknowledges that women can, and do, have a role to play in recovery and awareness raising, for women and girls who have been or may potentially be, subjected to male violence, he is also very clear in stating that responsibility for prevention lies primarily with men and boys.
However, he does so in a way that presents this potential attitudinal and behavioural change as beneficial not only to women and girls, but also to boys and men themselves, and therefore for society more broadly.
Katz focusses on societal values, beliefs and long held misconceptions, not to let perpetrators ‘off the hook’ but to demonstrate that we cannot rely on change at an individual, personal level. The problem, and therefore the solution, must reach far beyond this.

A much needed and valuable shift in perspective.
