The statistical evidence about who perpetrates sexual violence against whom points out clear gender patterns. This is not to dismiss sexual violence perpetrated by women, but I don't think we should pander to the fear that "men might get mad" if we speak the truth about who's doing what to whom. Support can be gained by discussing the effects of violence upon men AS perpetrators, as well as discussing the effects of violence against women -- not by trying to sidestep the truth. I think part of the goal, as educators, is to develop curriculum about dealing with the affective issues in families and relationships relative to the pursuit of education. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
