Synopsis:
Men Speak Out features original, accessible essays written by and about men making sense of their gendered experiences in today's culture. They describe their success and challenges in bucking patriarchal systems in a culture that can be unsupportive of — or downright hostile to — a pro-feminist perspective.
This exciting anthology compiles the voices of 40 men who explore issues of masculinity, sexuality, identity, and positive change. In these chapters, a diverse group of men reflect on growing up, share moments in their day-to-day lives, and pose serious questions about being a progressive male living, working, thinking, and learning in a sexist society.
This provocative book puts issues on the table that are sure to stimulate conversation and lively debate.

Publishing Notes:
“This is an important book to read – and to savor, discuss, and share with our sons and daughters.”
–Michael A. Messner, Professor of Sociology and Gender Studies, University of Southern California
“If these men are willing to ask themselves and each other the hard questions, then it can only be sign of better things to come for all of us.”
-Daisy Hernandez, co-editor of Colonize This! Young Women on Today’s Feminism
“This is an important validation for men trapped in the masculine construct, for women who wonder about men’s role in the feminist movement, and for all the trannies and queers who negotiate these issues.”
-Inga Muscio, author of Cunt: A Declaration of Independence
“I have always believed that feminism is about gender itself more than women; with its diverse array of insightful voices, Men Speak Out is an important addition to the growing body of work exploring men’s crucial role in the fight for gender justice.”
-Lisa Jervis, founding editor and publisher of Bitch: Feminist Response to Pop Culture
