Challenge abusive behavior when you see it. Men respond to social pressure from other men. Actively resisting abusive behavior through direct confrontation, policy-making in your chapter, and public activism are all appropriate courses of action for men committed to stopping rape. Examine your own sexual behavior and responsibility 1. It is never OK to force sex on a woman.
Rape is a crime of violence.
If you are getting a double message from a woman, speak up. Clarify what she wants. Do not make assumptions. Your partner may welcome some forms of sexual contact and be opposed to others. Don't assume that one form of sexual contact necessarily opens the door to anything else.
