Description
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
-
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
-
Refreshing ... Katz is someone who cares as much about men as we feminists do about women, and reading his book - which is clearly set out as a call to action, more men might be inspired to join him
The Telegraph
-
Unflinchingly honest, Every Man equips men with the tools to become true allies. Katz doesn't offer empty promises or performative gestures; instead, he lays out the concrete actions every man can take to help dismantle gender violence. This is the handbook our culture so desperately needs.

Jackson's pioneering work has been at the forefront of our field for decades. The clarity of his message has informed and empowered me and countless other educators and advocates. With Every Man, he's taking his ideas and call to action to a much wider audience. This compelling book is not just about every man, it's for every man!

Engaging, smart, moving, Every Man clearly shows us guys why it is in our own best interests to take a stand against violence to the women we love and then exactly how best to do it. Katz's beautiful writing is at once broad reaching, personal, and supremely practical. Read it and change your life. You'll be grateful you did.

Jackson Katz has been a valued partner of our diverse women-led organization for years, especially in our high-profile and award-winning “Be More than a Bystander” program -- a longstanding collaboration between us and the BC Lions professional football club. Jackson has a rare gift for building bridges between the feminist violence prevention community and more traditional sectors of male culture. Every Man captures this beautifully. It's filled with practical steps and a critical invitation to men: that they can and must be part of the solution.
Ninu Kang, Executive Director, Ending Violence Association of British Columbia
