What people are saying about Men Speak Out:
“This is important validation for men trapped in the masculine construct…and for all the trannies and queers who negotiate these issues.”
—Inga Muscio, author of Cunt: A Declaration of Independence
“Men Speak Out is an important addition to the growing body of work exploring men’s crucial role in the fight for gender justice.”
—Lisa Jervis, founding editor and publisher of Bitch: Feminist Response to Pop Culture
