That's how I heard it described as well, that women continuously actively plan for their own safety and that without an exercise such as what was described when Jackson Katz did the initial training for the BC Lions, it was impossible to relate to that state of mind. It was a very powerful opening to the conversation, and it then made the rest of the teaching that much more accessible. It brought allies into the conversation in a way that was a kind of magic, the way I heard it described.
Can you tell me a bit more about how the BC Lions' experience influenced the CFL's policy around violence against women? I understand that the Ending Violence Association was involved in that work as well.
