Discussion List for campus-based and allied personnel working to end gender-based violence on campus.

I have been proposing that folks who work in this field start referring to 
their entities as "sex violence" related -- b/c this conveys not only 
"sexual" parts but "sex" as gender - 

in this way - you can bond "domestic" violence work with "sexual" violence 
work - and becaue so much of sexual violence is technically "domestic" and 
vice versa, it's time we came up with a unified title - 

I call one of my activist lists "people against sex violence" for exactly 
this reason 
and i teach my students to use the phrase -- 
it also protects against the hierarchies of "types" of violence that co-opt 
and disempower us -

one might also suggest calling it "sexualized violence" to indicate issues of 
power/control vs. being about sex or having sex.
