REAL MEN EMPOWER WOMEN

Our first feature in the Real Men Empower Women Series is Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt and Everybody Panic! Lead Singer, Ty Gay.

Ty’s dream was to grow up to be a Rock and Roll Ninja, and that’s exactly what he did.

In 2006, he opened up his own Jiu-jitsu Academy, The Redline Jiu-Jitsu Academy in Edmond, Oklahoma. In 2013, Ty received his Gracie Jiu-jitsu Black Belt under the Gracie Family under Rener & Ryron Gracie.

Signed by Caviar Gold Records, Ty has performed as the lead singer of Everybody panic with artist including the Deftones, Nothing More, Steel Panthers. He’s toured the US with Five Finger Death Punch, Hed PE, Mushroomhead, Powerman 5000, and many more!

Joining us from his Jiu-jitsu Academy in Edmond, ok, he sat down on the mat with She-jitsu and told us why he rocks our Real Men Empower Women Tees all over the world, on and off the mat, on stage and back stage.

“If more men spoke up before, during, or after incidents of verbal, physical, or sexual abuse by their peers, they would help to create a climate where the abuse of women — emotional, physical, sexual — would be stigmatized and seen as incompatible with male group norms. That is, a man who engaged in such behavior would lose status among his male peers and forfeit the approval of older males.

Ultimately, this would cause a shift in male culture such that some men’s sexist abuse of women and girls would be regarded — by other men — not only as distasteful but as utterly unacceptable. In this new climate, individuals would be strongly discouraged from acting out in abusive ways because of the anticipated negative consequences: loss of respect, friends, and status, and greater likelihood of facing both legal and non-legal sanctions.

In fact, if men’s violence against women truly carried a significant stigma in male culture, it is possible that most incidents of sexist abuse would never happen. This is because contrary to popular myth, the vast majority of boys and men who assault, harass, and bully girls and women are not sociopaths. They are average guys. Many of them see the sexist treatment of women as normal.” — Jackson Katz

Founder & CEO,  Jennifer Gray, believes that the Real Men Empower Women Tees serve as a perfect illustration of the power of fashion to make a statement and the fact that both genders have a stake in the empowerment of women.

“Misconceptions about all men were part of the force that drove me to my breaking point,  so it’s touching that men – and a male dominated sport – Jiu-jitsu –  became a part of the solution that would lead me here today.”

That’s why I created the “Real Men Empower Women” t-shirt. As an encouragement to both genders – about how cooperation & not division is a key to empowerment and overcoming challenges.

I think it’s important for women to see that there are men out there that support them and want to see them empowered. 

Most men want to help, they just don’t know how. This is a way for them to do so – by saying it without saying it & by saying it to everyone they meet.”
