Men paint their nails to stop violence against women

Story here. Excerpt:

'Men walking around campus with red painted nails aren’t cross-dressing; they’re taking part in an initiative to stop violence against women.

Volunteers will be at the Atrium, Student Recreation and Wellness Center and Scramble Light to ask men if they are man enough to stop violence against women by volunteering to paint one of their nails red.

Operation Red Jungle, a campus wide initiative, is geared toward bringing awareness to stopping the violence.

Emily Sullivan, president of Ball State’s Timmy Global Health, volunteered her time on Tuesday to ask men passing by if they wanted to take the pledge.'

I'm surprised that a professor of psychology would support such a biased initiative. How about bringing light to the fact that women initiate violence in relationships about as often as men, and addressing the fact that domestic violence is not a one-way issue. How about getting women to shave part of their heads and take a pledge to never be violent against their male partners? That would be downright offensive, wouldn't it? Yet switch the genders and all is well. Sigh.. whatever.
