“It is Not an Accident/ 52 Men Write About Male Violence in 52 Weeks” article series started on January 10, 2018 and ended on January 2, 2019.
The expression “It is Not an Accident” is the briefest and the most to the point sentence that expresses our trouble. The 52 people that I have listed above have cracked the door open for such a discussion, which is a first of its kind; we are thankful to them.I am going back to the beginning. When bianet contacted me in the first week of December 2017 and offered me to coordinate a series/file consisting of “articles written by men on male violence” planned to continue for a year, I got excited and anxious at the same time. It could be an exciting experience, because such discussions were very few in number, except for a handful of examples in the academia. As for the source of my anxiety, I was anxious because of the trouble that would be caused by the fact that a great majority of men do not perceive ‘shows of masculinity’ as a problem, except for physical/ emotional violence that has become visible.[1]
