Men: Where Are You?
Geller, William W.
Some men are not sensitive to women and the way some men treat or think of women is a problem. Men, especially those in key leadership roles, need to challenge other male colleagues and students and to speak out in support of women if the relationship between men and women is to improve. More specifically, male administrators need to make clear value statements and engage students in an examination of their attitudes and behavior surrounding those values. The goal is to instill a spirit that extends beyond purely attending to what is obligated by law. Men need to encourage each other to examine their personal attitudes and feelings toward women. Male leaders need to talk candidly about rapes that occur on college campuses. Male administrators need to learn to listen as a way of becoming more informed and sensitive. Men need to write and distribute material that speaks to men about rape. A male administrator needs to take a lead role in raising the campus community's consciousness about sexism. Men need to listen to and learn from women so that they have the knowledge and ability to carry on a dialogue. (The author's experiences at the University of Maine at Farmington are described. A list of 11 questions to consider when evaluating events/activities on campus is included.) (ABL)
