Katz said he became interested in
engaging more men in addressing the
problem, because it became clear to him
as a sophomore at the University of
Massachusetts Amherst that women had
been at the forefront of speaking against
sexual assault. He said men's voices and
leadership were missing.
Today, he said, there are a lot more
men doing this work than there were
when he graduated high school in
1978. But there's still work to do. It's
a complicated picture, as there's a lot
of positive things happening, but some
discouraging things happening at the
same time, he noted
"It's real tricky terrain right now,"
Katz said. "There's been a backlash
against the #MeToo movement. A lot
of men feel under attack. Women have a
voice they've never had in history. Men
have always been doing these things to
women but (women) have never had the
forum to talk about it and now they do.
Men feel they've been unfairly targeted.
"There's also men who are very
supportive of what's been happening.
They know they're part of a culture that's
very toxic and I think they see this as a
constructive moment."
