Excellent. Absolutely excellent, and the very best part, the part where he nailed it because I could never get past all the rest, is identifying that we need to ask questions about John, about what is going on with men.
I agree with the above statement, we nee to start figuring out why men are hitting women, why are they raping women, and why a lot of them aren’t taking responsibility in it. You can have all of these women self defense classes and shit to get people to learn how to defend themselves from these acts but until you attack this at the root it’s just going to keep growing back.
I realize this seems like a lot of reading, but it is worth it. Also, there is a video!
I’ve watched this Ted Talk from Jackson Katz six or seven times since I first saw it earlier this year. It meant a lot to me while secretly working on Something Terrible.
We desperately need to deal with these subjects as MEN’S ISSUES.
