> Here's what people are saying:
>
> "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."
