Stopping the abuse of women on North American college campuses has not been very successful thus far. A major backlash has occurred in that students, faculty, and administrators too often either believe that the problem is not significant or support the patriarchal rights of men. Programs begun by many campuses have not been very effective, partly because they depend on women to police the actions of men and partly because so few men come under formal social control that most offenders know that their actions will receive no sanctions. However, empirical research suggests that male peer support is the most important factor in determining whether a male will be abusive. These findings suggest ways in which profeminist men can begin to tilt the balance against male aggression. Suggested approaches include shaming or working with bullies or those who are abusive; protesting pornography; and becoming involved with education, support groups, or both.
