"When is it safe to say a man has crossed the linebetween polite and sexist? Helpful and condescending? The friendly stranger, or borderline stalker? And when does 'sociable' become "slutty" and just another case of 'asking for it'?"

For issue 4- When 'No' Means 'Yes'- of Danger! hole zine, we're making one hell of an effort to find out!

So far, the table of contents is looking a little something like:

* The Psychotic As Psychoanylists" essay

* 'Undone' short fiction

* true/false causes and solutions to stalking/harrassment

* 'Porn Up, Rape Down'

* support sites

* 'The Pickup Artist' Reality Show Rapists-in-Training

* coloring pages

* 'Girl at the Boy's Show' concert-going etiquette

* how-to say NO anywhere

* Holla-Back DHZ

* Drink Safe Techonology

As with the previous issues of Danger! Hole zine, I'd love to make this a multi-contributor piece. I'd like for this particular zine-baby to have as many mommysanddaddys as possible!

So, pass these questions around, and feel BEYOND free to contact me with yr answers/thoughts/and ideas!

I am now taking submissions on:

Holla-Back DHZ- (this is obviously a sensitive issue and I definitely feel a connection to the abused-pointofview. I also started working at a battered women's shelter recently. All these factors made me wnat to get information and stories into the open; I want to remain empathetic towards some men and women not wanting to share some details, but I find this a tricky and unspoken for issue all around, so I want tow ork extra hard in making this a diverse, open episode of Danger! Hole zine. if you can help in any way- I will do any procedure necessary to keep your info private/protected.) I'm taking submissions on personal experiences with the issue. Anything from a rude comment, nasty look, harassment from a dating partner, anything can be sent in. THIS IS CERTAINLY OPEN TO MEN AS WELL. danger! hole zine REALIZES THAT SEXUAL HARASSMENT IS A TWO-WAY PROBLEM, AND ANY STORY YOU HAVE WILL NOT BE OVERLOOKED.

Polls- to come out soon!
