We're all about conversations that matter (especially with tweens and young teens). We have three books for girls and lots of conversations with parents, educators and medical professionals. And we love what you're doing!

I would also add, "As women, we will not apologize for having opinions, being ambitious, being successful, or generally existing." I just can't stand it when a young woman apologizes for herself. Love, love, LOVE this!

As far as the nasty comments go from @mr.hands and @lopuisarcher this website and movement is about challenging society's standards and norms regarding female sexuality and assault. This is not about name calling or trying to "blame" men it is about trying to improve the lives of EVERYONE through education and awareness. Also, let me point out that two men trying to put "the little ladies in their place and let them know what's what" is not going to make us give up the website or our work!

You clear up important misconceptions that "Mr. Hands" expresses. Unfortunately, he's not alone but there's always room for education and accurate information. "M.H." (and others) often have these misconceptions about sexual assault. Miranda's excellent post provides an important corrective to the misinformation out there. Better understanding means better sexual assault prevention. Oh, and check yourself with the name-calling, Mr. Hands. Not necessary. @Lopuis, I appreciate your vigor, but I prefer prevention.

If the majority of men don't do it, then clearly it's an aberrant behavior and can be stopped. Other studies, such as those by Alan Berkowitz, show that the vast majority of men DO recognize behaviors like rape as problematic, but don't do or say anything because it's been normalized in society. So if we want rapes to stop--and I know I don't want any of the women in my life I care about to be raped--then I have a responsibility to challenge rape and other sexist behaviors where I see them. To that end, I have to say that your "ignorant feminists" statement is pretty sexist, and out of line, as is your comment out the writer having her head up her ass. Why don't you try to engage on a level of argument instead of name-calling? It's great that you don't rape and don't think others should either, but that's not enough for any of us.
