Yesterday, MANN posted an item that included an article entitled "Evidence-based Domestic Violence Awareness Training" in Vol. 3, Issue 3 (2014) of New Male Studies: An International Journal published by the Australian Institute of Male Health and Studies (http://aimhs.com.au/).
The attributed author, Amy Wilkins, Ph.D., of U Colorado-Boulder, has informed me she is *not* the author of this article. Whether this misattribution was intended or not with or without malice and by whom is not known at the moment. However at this point, I recommend that any publication, distribution, or citation of the work as hers stop immediately; failure can result in legal consequences. Further, I recommend anyone who has posted, published, or forwarded the article in whole or part convey the substance of this news to the receivers who should probably do likewise to whomever else they have passed it along to, and so on ad infinitum.
Academic misattribution or forgery, intended or not, are serious and possibly criminal offenses. MANN in no way condones for any reason such or similar behavior. In order for the MRM to stand apart, its champions must have integrity and a strong commitment to facts/truth. Whether or not anyone part of or sympathetic to the MRM was willfully involved in a misattribution or forgery isn't known. (This could be an act of agent provacateurism, or a simple "printer's error", or whatever.) In any case, what is known currently is that the article's purported author denies categorically that she wrote it.
