But after years of violence, hunger, dishonesty, and fear, the spirit of Animal Farm seems lost to a distant past. The concept of inherent equality has given way to notions of material entitlement: Animal Farm as an institution no longer values dignity and social justice; power alone renders a creature worthy of rights.

The animals fight back against the men and take control of the farm. The animals surprise the men with their 'sudden' change in behaviour - it frightens the men to see the animals using their power. The pigs take charge and begin to control the other animals. Napoleon uses Squealer and the dogs to stop the animals' questions about the windmill. Squealer spoke so persuasively, and the three dogs who happened to be with him growled so threateningly, that they accepted his explanation without further questions.
The other profile of high risk male is less-often cited. It is characterized by men who do not have aggressive personalities, but who do view sex as a game, and who seek multiple casual sexual encounters that come without emotional attachment.
Many of the stories that I have read in the slew of metoo works, especially stories about college and graduate school experiences, seem to be connected to this profile. I have, over the years, met a number of Jewish men who fall into this category, and when I think back to my own behavior as a young man, some of it falls into this category as well. One other thing that we know about teenagers of all genders is that during the period between age twelve and age sixteen the most important influence?
High five? Fist bump? What his friend says in that moment? How were these programs so effective? When men actually call each other out on bad behavior and talk to each about ways to reduce harassment and assault, the message sinks in.
All men grow up in and benefit from a patriarchal society that values dominance and conquest and de-values women. Can we hope for and work for a post-gender era that brings with it a new equitable economic and social system governed without hierarchy? But while we take steps in that direction, I think it is imperative that we work to diminish the amount of sexual harassment and abuse within our current social structures.
I feel fortunate that I have been engaged in an educational project that is working to diminish the harassment and abuse that occurs in our community and I want to take a brief moment to describe the project that I am involved in. A major element of our work is developing effective methods of teaching sexual consent.
We do so in the larger context of creating safe spaces for teens to explore their gender socialization. Boys are challenged? Girls meanwhile, in addition to practicing their own giving of consent, unpacking double standards around sexual behavior, and strategizing ways to combat sexualization, are also encouraged to identify and claim their own physical and sexual pleasure. In collaboration with sexuality education experts Al Vernacchio and Charis Denison, we train educators to facilitate discussions for teens where teens can talk with peers about the mixed messages that they are receiving, the pressures and concerns that they are facing, and the unrealistic expectations that they are being told to meet.
They are encouraged to find their own ways to push back on sexism, communicate clearly, and to support one another in developing their own sexual ethics, within a Jewish framework. I mention this work because I think that it, like the One in Four program, can empower the next generation to make real changes in the ways that people treat one another.
Men want to both feel the love of the group we live in and want an opportunity to give back? Men want to be good and want to be loved authentically. Last year, I had the opportunity to speak with Dr. Andrew Smiler, a psychologist who lives in Greensboro, North Carolina who writes about male sexuality, and to read his new book for teen boys.
Smiler knows the power that peers have on teen boys? Like a lot of men, it took me awhile to learn what authentic human physical that kind of connection can be like?
Back to my conversation with my Orthodox friend? When I think of the work ahead in the wake of metoo, I am not only thinking about the conversation that I have with my community here in the wonderfully liberal enclave of Montclair, New Jersey. I am also thinking about how those who live within much more patriarchal Jewish communities can be supported in advocating for healthy and open discussion about sexuality in their schools, synagogues, and communal institutions.
I am inspired by the recently launched The Joy of Text podcast[16]? Will metoo produce long-term change? I hope so. And I hope that Jewish men can play a role in creating a culture where more people of all genders can freely move through the world without experiencing harassment, objectification, or unwanted touch.
