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

["Wantland, Ross A" <>]

Hey y'all,
   I'd like to weigh in that - although Sex Signals may be scripted - I found 
it to work very well with a devensive group of 500 athletes at our 
university. As a script, it does make some twists to help men who don't get 
it to get it. I personally didn't find this manipulative, though. I also 
imagine that there could be some variation from performer to performer. I 
know that Gail and Christian, who are also the co-founders of Sex Signals, 
are amazing both as actors and as activists.
Peace,
Ross

I saw this production a few years ago, and unless it has changed, I would 
agree with Juliette. I found it to be manipulative. Isn't that something we 
are working against?

Perhaps Jackson, etc. have women with whom they work and with whom you could 
con-contract. MVP out of Northeastern typically has female / male teams 
working together.
