University: more ‘secure’ men will eradicate campus sexual assault
Article here. Excerpt:
'What can men at Troy University do to help stop sexual violence? According to a university pamphlet, simply be secure in themselves.
A pamphlet on sexual violence at Troy—obtained by Campus Reform—lists seven things students can do to “stop sexual violence,” including, “be secure.”
“Secure men are sensitive to others,” the pamphlet reads. “Explore your own insecurities & live your life in a way that is non-threatening to women.”
...
“The pamphlet insinuates that because men have insecurities, they are more at risk to be sexual predators,” Courtney Brown, a junior global business major at Troy, told Campus Reform. “A lot of people have insecurities—it doesn’t mean they’re going to be a rapist.”
...
Samantha Harris, director of policy research at FIRE, called Troy’s harassment policy “pretty clearly unconstitutional” as “it essentially says that if you are discussing any number of controversial issues related to race, religion, etc., you have committed harassment under this policy if another person subjectively finds your speech offensive.”'

It's the other way around
It's the other way around. Young men are likely to become more insecure in an anti-male environment such as many universities.
