The Macho Paradox (2006) by Jackson Katz:

Men’s role in ending violence against women is given substantial support in Katz’s insightful book. Written from the position that violence against women is a men’s issue, Katz explores where men can be engaged on the issue and how men can contribute. His big tent approach takes the anti-violence message where it can impact primary prevention efforts and where leadership is found: boys and young men in intramural athletic programs, professional sports teams, and the military. With a deep analysis of this long-running pandemic, Katz contributes important discourse on sexism and respect for women. This work also provides an understanding of feminism and is grounded in feminist principle. Katz provides a readable primer for men that convincingly asks men to ally with women in stopping violence against women.
