I believe that people are, and should be excited that for the first time there is a group of men who care enough to stand up and do something to help. I do not think that by supporting their efforts it takes away from all that women have and are doing to fight this problem. I myself am the victim of a sexual assult and i got through it without the help of any man. I have learned how to take care of myself, i have learned that i don't need a man to make my fears, confusion, and anger about what happened to me go away. I do however think that it has been way too long for men to make an effort in the fight aginst rape.
Rape is a man's problem.
If men are commiting these crimes, why should we not applaud men who are trying to help and educate each other. It is in general their gender that needs the help. Women don't rape. One of their goals happens to be setting up a victims fund here on campus, however the focus of the walk is reaching men. Working on educating and reminding men that this isn't not just a woman's problem.
