Wednesday, September 16, 2009 Sexual Assault Prevention Tips Got this from Lickysticky on how to truly stop rape. It puts the prevention onus on the perpetrators as opposed to the victims, which should always be the case because only a potential rapist can control his actions. It shouldn't be up to the victim to police or take responsibility for the rapist. But again, this would be in a world where common sense prevails. And as we know, the one resource this world is lacking is sense of any kind. Have you checked the news lately? A lot has been said about how to prevent rape. Women should learn self-defense. Women should lock themselves in their houses after dark. Women shouldn’t have long hair and women shouldn’t wear short skirts. Women shouldn’t leave drinks unattended. Fuck, they shouldn’t dare to get drunk at all. Instead of that bullshit, how about: If a woman is drunk, don’t rape her. If a woman is walking alone at night, don’t rape her. If a women is drugged and unconscious, don’t rape her. If a woman is wearing a short skirt, don’t rape her. If a woman is jogging in a park at 5 am, don’t rape her. If a woman looks like your ex-girlfriend you’re still hung up on, don’t rape her. If a woman is asleep in her bed, don’t rape her. If a woman is asleep in your bed, don’t rape her. If a woman is doing her laundry, don’t rape her. If a woman is in a coma, don’t rape her. If a woman changes her mind in the middle of or about a particular activity, don’t rape her. If a woman has repeatedly refused a certain activity, don’t rape her. If a woman is not yet a woman, but a child, don’t rape her. If your girlfriend or wife is not in the mood, don’t rape her. If your step-daughter is watching TV, don’t rape her. If you break into a house and find a woman there, don’t rape her. If your friend thinks it’s okay to rape someone, tell him it’s not, and that he’s not your friend. If your “friend” tells you he raped someone, report him to the police. If your frat-brother or another guy at the party tells you there’s an unconscious woman upstairs and it’s your turn, don’t rape her, call the police and tell the guy he’s a rapist. Tell your sons, god-sons, nephews, grandsons, sons of friends it’s not okay to rape someone. Don’t tell your women friends how to be safe and avoid rape. Don’t imply that she could have avoided it if she’d only done/not done x. Don’t imply that it’s in any way her fault. Don’t let silence imply agreement when someone tells you he “got some” with the drunk girl. Here is another list over at No Not You Don’t put drugs in people’s drinks in order to control their behavior. When you see someone walking by themselves, leave them alone! If you pull over to help someone with car problems, remember not to assault them! NEVER open an unlocked door or window uninvited. If you are in an elevator and someone else gets in, DON’T ASSAULT THEM! Remember, people go to laundry to do their laundry, do not attempt to molest someone who is alone in a laundry room. USE THE BUDDY SYSTEM! If you are not able to stop yourself from assaulting people, ask a friend to stay with you while you are in public. Always be honest with people! Don’t pretend to be a caring friend in order to gain the trust of someone you want to assault. Consider telling them you plan to assault them. If you don’t communicate your intentions, the other person may take that as a sign that you do not plan to rape them. Don’t forget: you can’t have sex with someone unless they are awake! Carry a whistle! If you are worried you might assault someone "on accident" you can hand it to the person you are with, so they can blow it if you do. And, ALWAYS REMEMBER: if you didn’t ask permission and then respect the answer the first time, you are commiting a crime- no matter how "into it" others appear to be. Labels: Women
