Grounded in an explicit focus on men's roles and responsibilities in the fight against sexual
harassment this book creates a deeper understanding of why sexual harassment against women
occurs and how we as a society can better respond to and prevent it. Integrating theoretical
analyses with empirical data from interviews with 25 Danish men the author argues that if we
want to eradicate the social and cultural tolerance of sexual harassment and the victim blaming
of women then we need a paradigm-shifting perspective. This book investigates the framing of
the debates on sexual harassment just as it looks deeper into the socialization processes of
men and raises the question of why so many men feel entitled to sexually harass women. This
book also explores what part men can play in combating sexual harassment emphasizing that it
is important not only to see men as perpetrators but also as empowered bystanders. It argues
that the #MeToo movement constitutes a potential instructive moment presenting men with an
opportunity for change.
