Tough Guise (Unabridged)
Violence, Media & the Crisis in Masculinity
Tough Guise is also available in an abridged version
While the social construction of femininity has been widely examined, the dominant role of masculinity has until recently remained largely invisible. Tough Guise is the first educational video geared toward college and high school students to systematically examine the relationship between pop-cultural imagery and the social construction of masculine identities in the U.S. at the dawn of the 21st century.
In this innovative and wide-ranging analysis, Jackson Katz argues that widespread violence in American society, including the tragic school shootings in Littleton, Colorado, Jonesboro, Arkansas, and elsewhere, needs to be understood as part of an ongoing crisis in masculinity.
This exciting new media literacy tool-- utilizing racially diverse subject matter and examples-- will enlighten and provoke students (both males and females) to evaluate their own participation in the culture of contemporary masculinity.

Press Reviews
Praise for the Film
"Illustrated with movie clips and quotes from popular slasher films to inane Howard Stern comments, Tough Guise offers strong statistical and analytical evidence regarding the very real crisis arising from the widespread depiction of inaccurate and unhealthy stereotypes of male masculinity. Highly recommended."- R. Pitman | Video Librarian
"Violence Prevention begins with a fearless look at the cultural factors that encourage violence, especially school violence. Tough Guise needs to be watched by every high school and middle school student in America."
- Mary Atwater | Violence Prevention Coordinator | Jefferson County, Colorado
"One of those rare films that viewers will keep with them long after they leave the classroom."
- Kristine Zentgraf | CSU-Long Beach
"An excellent resource and a must-have video for all school and universities."
- Charisse Jackson | National Conference for Community & Justice
