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

["Ben Atherton-Zeman - Feminist, Actor and Husband" <>]

I would echo the "Allies in Healing" recommendation - it helped me when I 
dated a survivor many years ago.

I would also recommend activism.  Some of our best male allies doing this 
work have come to the work because they dated a survivor.  I don't know if 
this person is male, but either gender might benefit from supporting their 
local rape crisis center, Women's Center, etc. in some way.  

Good luck to you and to that person!  

Until the violence stops, Ben.

Quote of the Month: April 2008 (Sexual Assault Awareness Month):
"If your neighbor steals your lawn mower is it neighborly larceny? If your 
neighbor from down the hall steals your DVD player from your apartment by 
breaking in is it neighborly burglary? NO!!!!!!! SO........... if one goes 
out with someone they know and that person rapes them why is it 'date rape'?"
