Jackson Katz
I'm not sure if this particular video has been brought up in our conversations, but I just watched it recently and really found it inspirational. It's a TED talk by Jackson Katz, who we saw in Miss Representation and in the videos about Tough Guise. He talks about the importance of recognizing that gender issues are not just women issues and should not be ignored by men. Although some parts have already been said in the movies and videos we have watched, I really like his take on this global issue of sexism.
