«In this current era of populism, a rabid anti-feminist backlash, and a rising right, this is a much needed book. Pease’s ground-breaking offering reminds us of the importance of emphasizing a rich gendered understanding of men’s violence against women. Indeed, as he correctly points out, we cannot understand and eliminate woman abuse without recognizing that a substantial number of male actions, values and beliefs are micro-social expressions of broader patriarchal forces. Facing Patriarchy is destined»

to become a classic piece of feminist scholarship, one that every man must read.’

«Facing Patriarchy is a highly accessible, critical examination of the urgent problem of men’s violence to women, linking it to other forms of violence, and making strong contributions to stopping it.»

«In the struggle for sex/gender justice, Bob Pease’s title is on target – the key is Facing Patriarchy. His radical analysis demonstrates over and over that we will not make serious progress against men’s violence and a host of other problems without a deep critique of patriarchy. In a cultural moment where academic jargon and political euphemisms are designed to derail radical feminism, Pease’s book is a welcome addition to our toolkit for challenging men to be fully human.»
