==What is this Different Kind of Dude Fest?==
DKDF is about good music minus the often self-destructive, sexist dudedom that comes along with many a music fest. And DKDF is about possibilities for change and growth, as one organizer says, “Different Kind of Dude Fest is about creating a safe, inclusive space where people feel like they can learn, grow, discuss, and have a positive experience. Different Kind of Dude Fest is a place to learn about yourself and how to deal with the issues that go along with living in a misogynist, patriarchal society”

==It's also a Fundraiser==
HIPS (Helping Individual Prostitutes Survive): HIPS’ mission is to assist female, male, and transgendered individuals engaging in sex work in Washington, DC in leading healthy lives.
UBUNTU: UBUNTU is a women of color and survivor-led collective based in Durham, North Carolina, USA, where community members are breaking the silence about sexual assault and racist violence as part of a long struggle against racism, classism, sexism and all forms of oppression.

==Workshop Schedule==
SATURDAY, AUG 11 @ Dance Institute of Washington, 3400 14th St NW
12-1pm Large group activity exploring the mainstream and margins of punk culture and gender

1:15-2:45pm Alternative Community Response to Sexual Violence
This workshop will cover responding to disclosures from primary and secondary survivors and creating community strategies for supporting survivors and holding perpetrators accountable. It will be fun and kick ass!

3-4:30pm Cum As You Are: masculinity, male bodies and positive sexual relationships
Even feminist punks live within and reinforce patriarchy. This experiential workshop will center male bodies and male voices to help us
discover the ways we reinforce and are hurt by our learned sexual behaviors. We'll also make space to learn about and develop new practices for ourselves around intimacy and sexuality, and share information about sexual and reproductive health.

3-4:30pm Challenging Gender Oppression through Anti-Sexist Men’s Groups
Participating in a men’s group can be an effective and transformative way for men to challenge gender oppression in ourselves and our communities. These groups can take many different forms, and this workshop will introduce participants to some existing groups, including Men Against Rape Culture (Durham, NC) and the Philly Dudes Collective, and discuss many of the issues involved in starting and participating in them. Among the challenges we will explore are: How do we find other men who are interested? What activities should the group undertake? How diverse should our group be, in which ways? How do we define who counts as a "man"? How can we deal within the group with differences in identity and experience? How do we create a shared analysis or political framework? What does accountability look like for our group? What resources exist for male anti-sexist individuals and groups? This workshop is open to all, but primarily aimed towards male-identified folks.

4:45-5:30pm Puppet Show on Consent and Sexual Relationships!
