Male Survivors of Sexual Abuse Sexual Abuse of Males: Prevalence, Lasting Effects, and Resources Interview with Michael Kimmel Author of 'Manhood in America'. "I think the women's movement has been one of the most powerful movements of our time and it certainly offers enormous possibilities for men as well as women.

'Feminism will make it possible for the first time for men to be free.'"
