Good Will Toward Men: Women Talk Candidly About the Balance of Power Between the Sexes
Over the past thirty years, at women's urging, many men have made behavioral and attitudinal changes to improve women's lives. This book examines a basic question that should have been asked long ago: Are there any changes that women—in enlightened self-interest—could make to enhance the lives of men?

In Good Will Toward Men, Jack Kammer interviews twenty-two progressive women, including a former president of NOW, to show how that question opens a win-win opportunity for both sexes.

These are candid exchanges that inject new hope into efforts to ease old problems:
• How does it hurt male-female relationships to say and believe that "men have all the power"?
• Is asking a woman to acknowledge her part in a problem the same thing as "blaming the victim"?
• Why are some women afraid that men really might "express their feelings"?
• Do women harbor attitudes of superiority over men?
• What part does "the dark feminine" play in the problem we call "patriarchy"?
• How are prejudices against men connected to violence and unpaid child support?
• How deep is women's distrust of men, and what can be done to overcome it?
• What is the most comprehensive approach to ending sexual harassment?

After reading this book you'll see the age-old War Between the Sexes in a new and hopeful way—a way that makes it possible to end the blaming, to build intimacy, honesty, fairness and mutual respect between women and men, and to create a healthier society for us all.

About the Author

Jack Kammer started a radio show on men's issues in 1983. From his weekly interviews he quickly came to see that serious social problems are enmeshed in fallacious thinking and reasoning about what men and boys want and need. In 2005 he left his IT job and entered a dual Masters degree program Social Work in Business in the hope he could find work in social services or public policy related to the social needs of men and boys. No such job materialized. He did, however, find work as a correctional officer in the infamous Baltimore City jail, then as a Parole & Probation agent in central Baltimore and then as a trainer for National Fatherhood Initiative on running the InsideOut Dad program for incarcerated fathers. He is the author of three books on male gender issues and is now retired but still actively advocating for men and boys.
