Men's attitudes to sexual harassment

[mirrorshard]

Lots of people have been posting about this recently, with good reason. However, everyone I've seen posting recommendations has been either female or transmale, so here goes.

cereta has been hosting a discussion about rape and men's attitudes to it. I'm not going to attempt to summarize or quote; read it.

khalinche tells her own stories, and asks: where are you? Where are the Nice Guys who Aren't Like That when women need them?

wildeabandon asks for shared stories - go fill in the poll/.

This is not an exhaustive list.

In comments to khalinche's post, she asks why straight cis-men aren't commenting much. Since I'm rather curious too, here's a poll.

NB: "participation" means reading at least one post I linked above, preferably all of them, posting at least one comment, and sticking around to read any followups. Less than that is either "listening" (good-ish) or "driveby" (bad).

If you haven't seen any of these posts linked to yet, read them then fill in the poll! There is no onus on you to participate immediately. Considered reflection is good. You have no obligation to participate at all, but it would be a Good Thing to do.

"I", of course, means the person filling in the poll.

"My friends" means male friends, specifically. I am not interested in female sexism here. Nor is anyone else.

Hello. Google isn't helping me here or maybe I'm too tired and not asking it the right question. Can someone tell me what cis means so I can confidently fill out the above poll. Thank you.

Others may put this better than I, but...

Not trans; in the right sort of gendered body for other aspects of your gender.

:-)
