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

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

Hi, Rus!  Glad you're interested - I answered your post on Fivers this 
morning and am now answering this one on SAPC!  So it might be a bit 
repetitive...

Yes, part of the idea is to focus on, engage and examine the behaviors of 
male college students.  To make this happen, Feminist Spring Break will 
ideally have some kind of gender balance (certainly more women than men will 
apply, but with the work that many are doing with men on college campuses, we 
should get *some* men wanting to do this, and maybe can even achieve gender 
balance among the group that goes down).  

So yes, I think that female students would get a lot out of Feminist Spring 
Break.  But it is not aimed solely at them - it's aimed more at engaging and 
challenging male behavior and attitudes.  

Until the violence stops, Ben.

Quote of the Month: May, 2008: 
".we gain something profound when we stand up for our beliefs, just as part 
of us dies when we know that something is wrong, yet do nothing. We could 
call this radical dignity. We don't have to tackle every issue, but if we 
remain silent in the face of cruelty, injustice, and oppression, we sacrifice 
part of our soul. In this sense, we keep on acting because by doing so we 
affirm our humanity - the core of who we are, and what we hold in common with 
others."
