    Bad enough we have to tangle with the phrase “real man”, as a means of males keeping other males in check and de-legitimizing any expression of masculinity that doesn’t pass muster, but now we have “real war” (presumably as opposed to a fake one). In this case, the “real” war is against men. No, really. Give yourself a treat, trot over to the InForum section of the Forum of Fargo-Moorhead (as in North Dakota), an online news source.

    Just a quick note – the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation has put up the funds to launch a new web site and programming initiative geared towards young teens, 11-14: Start Strong. The site currently lists 11 cities, though one imagines the intention is to eventually branch out. This is a good example of the kind of coordinated effort that can occur when funds are brought to bear and help support the work that is happening on the front lines. Also, the web site design is A+. I think RWJF and Family Violence Prevention Fund have framed the discussion perfectly, not just for that age group,…

    Last year when the Obama administration announceda plan to address the number of sexual assault cases at colleges nationwide, it was an important reminder to many Americans that sex crimes are a real threat both on and off campus. Considering that every two minutes someone is sexually assaulted in the U.S., and that rape is still the least reported crime in America, it’s essential that we remain vigilant about preventing and educating about sexual violence. In a nod to April’s designation as Sexual Assault Awareness Month or SAAM some well-respected organizations and institutions are…

While camera phone captured fight videos are not uncommon on many corners of the web, this video gained popularity not for the brutality of the fight, but for the interesting way it was broken up. A stoic man eating chips steps into the middle of the scrum, and his facial expression never changes as the shouting dies down and the fight ends. He just keeps eating his chips.  It’s hard to tell…

    We at Men Can Stop Rape (MCSR) believe that stereotypical masculinity (or any other term you might choose: traditional masculinity, hypermasculinity, hegemonic masculinity, dominant masculinity) is still too much the air that we breathe. It’s something we often take in automatically, unaware. As one of the significant sources of violence against women across the globe, as well as other forms of violence, and as an unconscious source of conflict for many men, stereotypical masculinity causes great harm when it goes unrecognized.

    Lately, when I’ve suggested that rape survivors should have places to say, “so and so raped me,” and to name the name of the assailant, some people have used the phrase “witch hunt.”  This is offensive, and it is a poor metaphor.  I’ll tell you why:  there are three components of a witch hunt, in historical practice, that do not fit an environment of public transparency. (1) It’s all made up.   (2) Confessions are extracted by torture. (3) The result is execution. Let’s look at a historical case, the North Berwick Witch Trials.  James VI,…

You have probably asked yourself, “When should someone step in to protect a child from violence from a parent or caregiver?”  What is your role and when are you overstepping your bounds?

  • Factors To Consider In Choosing A Program for “disruptive physicians”.

    George Anderson
    11 May 2012 | 5:39 pm
    Posted on February 25, 2011 by George Anderson Physicians who are mandated to attend classes or coaching for “disruptive behavior” frequently perceive themselves to be under assault from their State Medical Boards, Credential Committees, Human Resource Managers, Hospital Administration or Physician Well-Being Committees. Rarely are they given appropriate information regarding the Pros and Cons of the three major programs that provide this intervention. Unfortunately, neither the American Medical Association nor most of the state medical boards nationwide appear to provide useful…

    National Crime Prevention Council
    11 Apr 2012 | 10:20 am
    Many people across the United States understand gang violence or have been victimized by gang violence and activity in their neighborhoods and communities, but what is the effect on gangs and gang violence on business owners? Gang violence is a critical social and economic issue and it extracts a high toll on the general public, as well as the business community. For example, in the city of Los Angeles alone, there are over 400 gangs with more than 39,000 members, according to the Violence Prevention Coalition of Greater Los Angeles.  Imagine the effects that gang activity and violence has…

  • Do you have nomophobia?

    National Crime Prevention Council
    28 Feb 2012 | 7:53 am
    The rise in use of smartphones has resulted in a new fear called nomophobia.  A recent survey by U.K.-based mobile security service provider SecurEnvoy conducted among 1,000 people found that two thirds (66%) of respondents fear losing or being without their mobile phone.  And it is on the rise — up 13% from just four years ago.  Nomophobia also includes the anxiety someone feels when not in the range of a cell tower to receive optimal reception. If you live in the Washington Metropolitan Area you might be slightly more concerned about nomophobia given recent reports in the media.  Last…
