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

A suggestion.

I doubt that a this point - already a couple weeks since the MacDonald piece
- that the LA Times would publish another opinion piece.  Not timely.  And
already been done.  

BUT how about instead you consider pitching a feature story to them -
ideally with some new/unique/interesting twist - that would get them
interested in covering the work that is going on on campuses?

Subject: Re: Response to MacDonald

i like the idea of writing one response on behalf of sapc - that feels a
lot more effective and collaborative then all of us writing random
responses.

I am willing to help out if needed.

in solidarity,

Juliette

"It's so liberating and important for men to understand that they can
actually be friendly to women instead of playing some gender-specific
role, and that women are in most ways the same as they are. I think that
lots of women already know that, but not so many guys do."  -my dad

Dear Colleagues,

I am in agreement with those who believe that a response to Heather 
MacDonald's unfounded assertions is important. And it is not 
difficult.  Citing the research from Dr. Koss's response is all that 
is needed. As Claire suggests, an organized response might be the 
most effective. I am disappointed that CALCASA has chosen not to 
respond. As a member of CALCASA and a rape prevention educator on a 
college campus since 1979, I would have appreciated the opportunity 
to weigh in on this decision.

It's never ok in my opinion to let demagogues have the last word. In 
the early days it was difficult to convince folks of the seriousness 
and extent of rape on college campuses because research was scarce. 
Now we have bodies of research supporting the pioneering work of Mary 
Koss. Lets use it!

Regards,

Gillian
