My experience of it was that it wasn't overt enough. The students with whom I spoke used the word manipulated. And condescension. And again I agree with Juliette, they seemed to focus on mis-communication, and thus could be perceived has supporting victim blaming.

Another piece that Juliette brought up which I find interesting is about behavior change. Has this program, or other similar programs, done any evaluation of impact (not whether folks were entertained)?

Sorry if I sound cynical. Not my best day today. However, I will add that perhaps this program could be very effective if framed well in the context of lots of other ongoing work.

Tom, could you say a little bit more about what you found to be
manipulative about it?

Thanks,
Chad

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.
