Men Stopping Rape, Inc.
About Us
Since 1983, MSR has provided a forum for men who are interested in ending violence in their community and in their own lives. We provide workshops and trainings on sexual assault, dating violence, masculinity, homophobia, and rape culture from the perspective that since men statistically have perpetrated the vast number of acts of violence in our culture, they must be involved in its erradication. It is not male identity, but rather a set of mythologies about what masculine identity is or should be, that leads to violent behavior; this can be un-learned, and together we can shape a new, loving masculinity.
