Child Molestation: How to Help Prevent It, Hopefully, and Knowing Who To Watch Out For: Clue–Men who are around your children

 [image is from here] I haven't read either book, and if anyone has, I'd be interested to know how helpful they are. I am always dubious about things like this, after watching an Oprah show. As you may know, Oprah Winfrey is a survivor of child molestation and incest and has worked to make sure predators are caught and arrested. The program featured mom's who had done all the right things in

The Father As Rapist of Girl Children: a nerve has been struck. This means that fathers ARE raping their daughters…

... and many are making pornography of the abuse. And white heterosexual men, among other het men, would like it very much if we all would please stop talking about it ASAP. And, especially, not call on other het men to hold one another accountable to these crimes against humanity. Fathers holding each other accountable. Imagine THAT.

Rape & Sexual Abuse Stats: WAY TOO LOW, and here’s a couple of reasons why

[image is from here] I write today about something I am outraged by often, but today I carry more rage than usual. I found a male-man I have known well has, within the last couple of weeks, sexually assaulted someone--his female spouse. I'd call what happened "rape" and I'm not sure if the woman wishes to, can, will, or what. I know she did not get medically examined after the assault, and

On prostitution, poverty, prison, and liberation: an argument for collective action, not arguing against ourselves

[image of liberation poster is from here] I just posted the following comment, *here*, at a blog focused on ending male violence. The discussion thread, posted, includes a woman who identifies as a sex worker, and other folks who do not. Moses, who is the moderator of that blog, does a fine job of keeping it humane.
