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

I have some articles about this. I'm out of the office this week but will send them when I get back. Unfortunately, it turns out that men DO listen more to men than they do to women, based on at least one study I can think of off the top of my head.

I agree about the "truism," Susan!  It's not scholarship, but Kris Macomber and I wrote about this in 2014: http://xyonline.net/content/%E2%80%9Cengaging-men%E2%80%9D-work-it-men-only

"Women leaders of these movements have been engaging men for decades. They may not have called it that – it might have been simply 'volunteer coordination' or 'outreach...' if men are recruited into the movement by men, and work only with other men in “engaging men” work, they are often isolated from women’s experiences, insights, and leadership. This has fallout for all sorts of things, like men coopting and dominating shared space, men being seen as the experts and authority on sexual and domestic violence even if they lack experience and training, and even the likelihood that men earn more money than women for comparable work."

Hi everyone,

are any of you aware of anything published (op-ed or scholarship) about the dynamics of women-identified people presenting rape education to those who identify as men, or conversely, about the merits or drawbacks of men presenting to one another?

it feels to me as if we've taken it as a bit of a truism that young men should hear culture and behavior change messages from other young men, but has anyone actually written about this?

thanks in advance for any leads you may have or use in your work!

sincerely,

Susan
