It happens to them... men aren’t a part of it," says Jackson Katz.

Katz is an American teacher, speaker and writer who is internationally renowned for his groundbreaking work on gender, race and violence.

We read that a hundred and something girls are pregnant, can we not remind each other that men did the impregnating? Who are these perpetrators?
