Watch:  Katz:  “Tough Guise2” https://sdsu.kanopy.com/video/tough-guise-2   (Links to an external site.)

What does Katz say about race, sexual orientation and gender with respect to the dominant group?  What is one of the ways that the power of the dominant group isn’t questioned?

What is the common refrain that biology and evolutionary history are destiny and what’s wrong with this?

Katz discussed how the discourse after the Sandy Hook shooting of the culture of violence in American quickly descended into a distracting and false debate between the defenders of the gun industry and defenders of the entertainment industry.  Why does Katz argue that this a false and distracting debate?

Why is the pressure to conform to violent masculinity more acute among groups and communities that are under threat in the real world from things like racism or rising economic inequality

What is the difference between using the common term “violence against women” rather than the less commonly used “men’s violence against women”? And why is this difference significant?

The rugged individualist ideal – as represented by the John Wayne and others – plays a powerful ideological and political role in our society. How does the ubiquitous message that a “real man” makes it on his own influence contemporary political debates about such issues as homelessness, welfare, labor unions, crime, etc.(as Schwartzenegger calls them—“economic girly men”)?
