What Women Want Men To Know About Abuse And Sexual Harassment

Language, Respect and the Prison Shower Analogy

The participants discuss how disrespectful behavior is rooted in language and thought patterns. Glenn suggests a "golden rule" for men: never say something to a woman that you wouldn't want said to you in a prison shower, as it is the only way some men can conceptualize the fear of sexual assault. They emphasize that men must move from passive non-participation to active intervention when they witness harassment.
