Background on Jack Kammer:

Jack Kammer, a dedicated social worker, author, and advocate, has focused his career on addressing the unique hurdles faced by men and boys. Starting in the early 1980s with a pioneering radio show that examined male-female relationships and wider male gender issues, Jack has consistently been willing to tackle uncomfortable truths and challenge conventional gender norms.

His professional journey, including roles as a correctional officer, parole and probation officer, and trainer for National Fatherhood Initiative, has provided him a unique perspective on the systemic barriers and societal challenges affecting men, especially those from marginalized communities.

Jack has written several influential books, such as 'Good Will Toward Men' and 'If Men Have All the Power How Come Women Make the Rules,' that explore the power dynamics between the sexes and question prevailing gender study narratives. His efforts aim to initiate dialogue and promote a more nuanced understanding of gender equity.

Jack Kammer’s longstanding commitment to gender advocacy and his efforts to bring hidden issues to light have established him as a respected voice in discussions about gender, justice, and equality. I am honored to sit down and have this discussion with him.
