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

["Juliette Grimmett" <>]

Dear John,
 
I am just reading this response, and I have to ask, how on earth can anyone 
avoid rape besides locking themselves up by themselves in a basement for the 
rest of their lives?  If you could tell me more about that program, I would 
appreciate it because the title is throwing me off.  Why isn't the workshop 
called "How to not rape people "and targeted at men - that to me, is WAYYY 
more important if we are ever going to truly end this violence.
 
The example I just sent about women telling each other about sketchy guys is 
something that I would not call avoiding rape because 1) there is always 
someone else out there and 2) to me it implies that women have to keep on 
living their lives in a prison, doing this and that etc. for fear of abuse.  
Instead, I see it as getting women connected to trust and help each other as 
the first step and then approaching the sketchy guy about his behavior as the 
second step - creating that cultural change that it is not tolerated and even 
encouraging the women to say they will tell everyone they know to keep away 
from him - outcasting him and the behavior.  Therefore creating a culture of 
it being uncool and illegal to abuse women.
 
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on your workshop,
 
thanks,
 
juliette

Michelle and others,

With regard to your question about bystander intervention programs for women, 
I am now available to present a program to college women that has a 
significant bystander intervention component called "Helping Friends Avoid 
Rape and Helping Survivors to Recover."  This is in addition to my 
established program for men "How to Help a Sexual Assault Survivor: What Men 
Can Do."

I also have begun to do presentations on the harms done by pornography called 
"Uncovering the Truth about Pornography."  I'm now booking dates for all 
three of these presentations for this fall and can be contacted at

 or at 405-338-8046.
